Mining is the process of extracting minerals from the earth. In mining engineering practice, it means the extraction of ores, coal, or stone from the earth. Ores are mineral deposits that can be worked at a profit under existing economic conditions. Stone includes industrial minerals such as calcite, quarts, and other similar products.
“Currently, gold, copper, iron, chromite and nickel are the most sought-after metallic commodities,” he said. “Among our non-metallic resources, sand and gravel, limestone, marble, clay and other quarry materials are in great demand.” “This is aggravated by indiscriminate mining practices, and the lack of a unified information campaign to address misconceptions about mining,” Paje said.
“This is not true in most cases as, for example, the Baguio area mining,” he pointed out. “If not for the mines, tourism could not have developed Baguio as it is now. But many of the local people are still poor. This is not because of mining but because of the sharing system.” Oftentimes, mined-out areas are devoid of plants due to many biotic and abiotic factors and one of them is the presence of residual heavy metals in the mining wastes, according to a press released disseminated by S&T Media Service of the Department of Science and Technology .
“We are expecting that these Marinduque isolates will also work in Surigao. If that is the case, we can also introduce the Marinduque isolates in all mined-out areas in the Philippines,” Dr. Aggangan explained over what could happen if the beneficial effects of the isolates from Marinduque are applied to the plants of Surigao.
