Environmental impact assessment and management in the mining industry

Abstract: The mineral industries have always had significant environmental problems. Dealing with them is in many cases technically possible, but the cost is often prohibitive in an industry with uniform products and much trade. As a possible solution, it is suggested to make mineral products less uniform and more distinguishable in terms of the environmental impacts involved in producing a specific shipment or volume of mineral; this could be combined with means to identify each shipment. Such action would require identification techniques and, more particularly, clear and unequivocal evidence regarding environmental impacts at all stages of production.
