Minería, or mining, is the process of extracting valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth. This process involves various techniques to locate, extract, and process these resources, which may include metals (like gold, silver, copper), fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, natural gas), and industrial minerals (like limestone, gypsum). Mining can be categorized into several types, including surface mining, underground mining, and placer mining, each utilizing different methods based on the depth and location of the resources. The process often has significant environmental and social impacts, including habitat destruction, pollution, and the displacement of communities, leading to ongoing discussions about sustainable and responsible mining practices.
