2021-6-9 Dust produced from mining has the potential to reduce plant cover, alter plant communities, and increase metal concentrations in vegetation—changes that may affect the amount, type, and quality of forage for barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus).We quantified dust deposition from Diavik Diamond Mine (Northwest Territories, Canada) and investigated the changes on forage

2021-2-18 Mining is widely regarded as having adverse effects on environment of both magnitude and diversity. Some of these effects include erosion, formation of sinkhole, biodiversity loss and contamination of groundwater by chemical from the mining process in general and open-pit mining in particular. 1.3 Diamond Mining Processes
2019-7-12 mining of diamonds with damage to the environment and Sierra Leone is apparently under this influence. In this case, the most perceivable evidence of the extraction process is the overall destructive impact on the environment. This research examined the environmental impacts of the diamond mining practices of the

2014-5-22 Mining in the arctic amplifies restoration challenges due to inherent environmental conditions by removing soil, vegetation, and the propagule bank, adding coarse textured wastes with low water holding capacity and nutrients, and introducing salt and metal contamination.
Diamond mining is generally less harmful to the environment than other types of mining, such as gold mining, because it does not make use of toxic chemicals. Despite serious environmental risks, effective regulation and proper planning can minimize diamond mining
2021-10-11 2021-10-11 Solution mining includes both borehole mining, such as the methods used to extrac t sodium chloride or sulfur,and leaching, either through drillholes or in dumps or heap s on the surface. 2

The restoration of the natural vegetation impacted by diamond mining activities is discussed. 1-4 The study area, located within the winter rainfall area of the Namib Desert, is one of four global fog deserts. The area is characterised by a near ubiquitous covering of Recent to Tertiary amorphous dunes of marine origin. The dunes can be divided
Mining operations have removed vegetation cover, so the mine contrasts starkly with its surroundings. According to a report issued by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Catoca diamond mine requires the movement of a metric ton of rock for every carat mined.

2021-10-30 Rehabilitation at this diamond mine is done in conjunction with the mining activities. The vegetation is clearly starting to recover, despite a severe drought. De Villiers says he has experienced
In 1983, the Argyle mine was established as the first major diamond-mining operation in Australia. Almost immediately, it became the world’s largest source of diamonds in terms of the volume (carats) pro-duced. The discovery, development, and operation of this mine challenged conventional beliefs about

2012-12-11 Underground mining has the potential for tunnel collapses and land subsidence (Betournay, 2011). It involves large-scale movements of waste rock and vegetation, similar to open pit mining. Additionally, like most traditional forms of mining, underground mining

2017-6-1 Black Diamond is the first of four pilots to be rehabilitated as part of the Department of Mines and Petroleum’s (DMP) Abandoned Mines Program, using funds from the Mining Rehabilitation Fund (MRF). The MRF is a pooled fund contributed to annually by Western Australian Mining operators.
2021-10-30 A few facts about diamonds in Arkansas: The first diamond was found here in 1906 by John Huddleston, a farmer who owned a portion of the diamond-bearing crater at that time. The Crater of Diamonds has changed hands several times over the years and several companies made unsuccessful attempts at commercial diamond mining.

2014-4-8 The Development Trust of Zimbabwe, working in partnership with a Russian company OZGEO is mining gold and diamonds at Charleswood Estate in Chimanimani. Although the company claimed that it wants to start mining diamonds in 2012, local residents say DTZ OZGEO has been mining diamonds for over 3 years and never remitted any cent to treasury.
2013-3-27 supported. There are several negative effects of mining for the environment. To make mining possible, several forests are cleared and this leads to deforestation. The vegetation is cleared in order to build the mining facility and laying roads. Several organisms and animals live in these forests.
2021-10-18 Many mining companies are seeking to decrease greenhouses gasses and even become carbon neutral. For instance, the world’s largest diamond producer by value, De Beers, said the company would be carbon neutral by 2030.
2014-10-16 Abstract. In response to the variety of climatic conditions that exist, Namibia has a range of vegetation types, with savanna in the north east and deserts in the west and these play an important role in determining the nature and power of geomorphological processes.

2019-4-28 Surface mining is done by removing (stripping) surface vegetation, dirt, and, if necessary, layers of bedrock in order to reach buried ore deposits. Techniques of surface mining include: open-pit mining, which is the recovery of materials from an open pit in the ground, quarrying, identical to open-pit mining except that it refers to sand
