Conservation of Minerals

Minerals fall into the non-renewable resource group. Mineral formation and concentration take thousands of years to complete.

• The rate of mineral creation is substantially slower than the rate of mineral consumption by people.
• In the mining process, waste reduction is essential. Recycling metals is another technique to preserve mineral resources.

Conservation of minerals can be done by the following methods:

• Reducing wastage in the mining process
• Metal recycling using scrap metals
• Use of renewable alternatives
• The sustainable and planned use of mineral resources
• Use of advanced technology to allow utilization of low-rate ores at minimum cost
• Mineral resources can also be conserved through recycling.
• Training miners can ....
