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.
