2019-9-10 About the environmental impacts of mining and mineral processing, it can be generally classified as waste management, acid mine drainage, sedimentation, metals deposition, and biodiversity. The processes produce a considerable amount of waste outputs, which depends on the type of mineral to be mined and type of ore deposit.
