Mining certainly remains vital for the supply of metals and needs a transition to more sustainable, low-carbon energy and infrastructure. Better supervision of metal resources and more responsible mining operations can help to minimise the destructive impacts on the environment. Also, keeping communities clean and improving the overall sustainability of metal use are crucial.

Better supervision of metal resources and more responsible mining operations can help to minimise the destructive impacts on the environment. Also, keeping communities clean and improving the overall sustainability of metal use are crucial.
The primary impact of the mining sector is not limited to environmental issues but also on a wide spectrum of social issues which give rise to the mining value chain. Environmental issues comprising air, water, soil and biodiversity degradation, whereas social issues like unregulated mining, human rights violation, health & safety and economic inequality are or can be the colossal attribute of irresponsible mining practices. Technological advancements, reduced emissions and increased energy efficiency can translate into better processing operations. Social inclusion like Corporate Social Responsibility, environmental restoration and nurturing of local businesses will instil a more civilised sense in metal mining.
The mining industry needs to focus on enhancing the sustainability of operations by adopting advanced technologies which carry efficiency advantages in the process as well as resource consumption. The growth in the Indian market is driven by the increased demand for infrastructure development, automotive production and power generation. The earth is likely to have sufficient metal ore deposits to meet projected demand over the coming decades. However, there are concerns about the reliability of metal supplies and rightfully so. The general decline in the quality of ore deposits, in terms of the concentration of metals they contain and an increase in the environmental, social and economic aspects of mining lead to some unprecedented need for vigilance.
The future of mining will ultimately rely on combining humane activities and advanced technological abilities. With a more sophisticated ability to collect, process and analyse vast quantities of data, efficient adopters will be able to overcome the industry’s current challenges through increased productivity and potential. The infrastructure of a developed and a developing nation has metals as its building block; and as the standard of living grows, the demand for minerals and metals also expands substantially.
The way forward includes responsible steps to be taken, for resulting in pure quality of metal which will ultimately lead to robust infrastructure and other metal applications. The steps to take for a better tomorrow involve – environmental (air, soil & water) stewardship, circularity in mining and metal processing, ethical governance and technological progress. This is very important as the rigid structures in future will need minimum maintainability and thus will cost less to operate resulting in economic stability and harmony in civilisation.
