Mining is important because minerals are major sources of energy as well as materials such as fertilizers and steel. Mining is necessary for nations to have adequate and dependable supplies of minerals and materials to meet their economic and defense needs at acceptable environmental, energy, and economic costs. Some of the nonfuel minerals mined, such as stone, which is a nonmetallic or industrial mineral, can be used directly from the earth.]]> 2017-08-31 04:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiagiuffre/81xg5e6tiqr6/wish/183862952 Minerals and their uses oscar_butler1 https://padlet.com/sophiagiuffre/81xg5e6tiqr6/wish/183863593 Silver- coins, medals, jewellery, batteries.
