Why should mining be responsible?
Mining is unsustainable - by nature - and indispensable. Humanity needs and will always need resources extracted from the Earth. Responsible mining comes with the objective of integrating economic activity with preserving the environment, social concerns and efficient systems of governance; trying to make mining a development source for the territory where it is located and, once the activity is completed, bring into being a culture that enables its residents to continue living in the same area whilst increasing their wealth and quality of life.
