No, gold mining has no positive effects on the environment.
Gold mining can be viewed as the recovery of surface gold (placer mining) or deep rock mining. In either event the recovery of the gold requires the removal and disposal of large amounts of waste rock (gangue) - both as rock and as fine taillings. These materials are often contaminated with cyanide, heavy metals and potentially Mercury from the recovery processes. Eithern as pure rock they can cover the bottoms of lakes and streams destroying the ecosystems present there.

Is gold mining sustainable?
Gold mining CAN be sustainable, but 85% or 90% of the time it isn't. Gold mining is hurting the environment badly, and it blasts away the entire mountains to unearth gold-rich ore. They blast it away with dynamite and large machines. Open-pit mining, Tunnel mining and dredging are a few ways of mining out gold. It hurt the environment because Waste Rock is around the mining area and it's too costly to move further away from the area the waste rock is in. Gold mining puts dust into the atmosphere and that's how they destroy habitats of animals. Well, that's all I have for this :P
