No, it doesn't. Mining and geothermal energy applications generally happen at different locations. To cite one example, Iceland taps geothermal energy to do a lot of heating there. They don't really mine anything. In the big open pit mines where ores of copper, aluminum and other metals are removed, we don't see any geothermal energy being tapped or any geothermal power plants in operation nearby. It may be notable to cite that some of the gold mines of South Africa are places where geothermal energy makes conditions in the deep shafts and drifts uncomfortably hot. But the miners are there for the ore, and no one is really interested in the geothermal possibilities.

What are the-problems with mining metal ores?
There are many problems with mining metal ores, such as pollution to the surrounding environment. Mining often means cutting down large areas of land so they make the ores a lot more accessible. When they have cleared the existing area of land of all the ore then they leave the holes in the ground uncovered which causes many problems. The land could also collapse. pollution mining means cutting down trees-damages habitats takes lots of energy-expensive limited resources
