Why is mining important?

Mining provides the raw materials, minerals, and metals needed to produce many of the physical goods and infrastructure that we use in our everyday lives.

It also plays a big part in the current push towards renewable energy. The batteries needed to store renewable forms of energy such as wind, solar and hydro, as well as those utilized in electric cars usually use lithium – an alkali metal which needs to be mined and extracted from the earth.

Mining operations are generally considered to be risky due to the health and safety risks to employees and contractors involved. Furthermore, they need to effectively manage and mitigate the environmental and social impacts of their activities.

Generally speaking, mining companies must carry out their business operations responsibly and sustainably. From a regulatory perspective, this is driven by the conditions and commitments outlined in operational permits and licenses.

Mining companies must also focus on their Social License to Operate. This requires a concerted focus on Environmental, Health, Safety and Community (HSEC) management systems. For land-based businesses such as mining, there is no separation between these risk areas.
