Environmental Impacts of Gold Mining
Solid Waste . Digging up ore displaces huge piles of earth and rock. Processing the ore to produce metals generates immense quantities of additional waste, as the amount of recoverable metal is a small fraction of the total ore mass.In fact, the manufacture of an average gold ring generates more than 20 tons of waste.. Heap Leaching

Surge in global metal mining threatens vulnerable ecosystems
Given that any expansion of mining has detrimental environmental and social impacts, it seems straightforward to call for a halt to mining expansion, as has, in fact, been the request throughout various environmental justice movements (e.g. Temper et al., 2015). However, this claim is in stark contrast to expected future trends.
