'Sustainability' is commonly an environmental issue. Whatever sustainability issues are attached to mining are attached to diamonds, too.
Yes, mining of copper has evolved over time with advancements in technology and mining techniques. Modern mining methods are more sophisticated and efficient, leading to increased productivity and reduced environmental impact compared to historical mining practices. Additionally, there is now a greater emphasis on sustainability and responsible mining practices in the copper mining industry.
Nickel is a metal that is mined. Strip mining is the most common form of nickel mining. The environmental effects of mining have been a detriment in New Caledonia, the largest nickel mining area of the world. Mine tailings have block streams and harmed local flora and fauna.
Diamond mining is not sustainable, in the environmental sense.
There is no mining allowed in Antarctica.

Very little. Most silver is mined in deep shafts below the surface and refined in smelters which do not have chemical residues. The tailings can be slightly radioactive, but overall low environmental impact
Tripoli, a type of porous silica material, is mined using traditional surface mining techniques such as open-pit mining or quarrying. Once extracted, it is processed by crushing and grinding to produce a fine powder that is used in various industrial applications, such as abrasives, filtration, and polishing compounds. Regulations and environmental considerations govern the mining process to minimize environmental impact.
