Lake MacDonnell, with a resource of ~500 Mt, is Australia's largest gypsum mine (Warren, 1983). Operations commenced in 1919, and production in 2013 was ~ 3.5 Mtonne. The deposit has been operated by Gypsum Resources of Australia Pty Ltd since 1984 when CSR Ltd and Boral Ltd combined their separate operations.
The ongoing global climate change and the associated environmental degradation pose a threat to Europe and the rest of the world. Raw materials and energy are required to produce building materials, which are used for construction purposes. Resulting buildings and structures generate waste during construction, operation, and …
the communities, the impacts outlined in the study are mostly perceived ones. Part 2: A brief background of Khothagpa gypsum mine The gypsum mine is located at Khothagpa village, some 13 kilometers below Pemagatshel town. It has a total mine area of 26.67 hectares. Mining first began in the early 1980s and was managed by the department of ...
Mining is a crucial industry — from iron and copper to gravel and sand, we depend on it for the basic building blocks of the modern world. It is a fast changing sector, as the clean energy ...
2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries supporting mining operations, and external stakeholders who gain access to biodiversity-rich areas as the result of …
Mining for metals produces waste containing toxic elements such as mercury and arsenic. Macklin et al. compiled global data on the locations of active and inactive metal mines and tailings dams, which hold mine waste.Using hydrologic models, they assessed river system contamination from mines and failed tailings dams and …
When a mining operation spreads out across hundreds of acres, some environmental impact is inevitable. Opponents of the Rocky Mountain Industrials limestone mine expansion near Glenwood Springs say its proposed footprint of more than 400 acres would push that impact beyond what they consider acceptable.

Bhutan is rich in mineral resources such as dolomite, limestone, slate, and coal. It also has small deposits of marble, quartzite, granite, talc, iron ore, and pink shale. Mining in Bhutan started in the early 1970s and it was mostly carried out by the government enterprises. Gradually under the auspices of policy of privatization, mining sector operations were …
However, mining activity does not necessarily mean loss of biodiversity and danger for ecosystems. The gypsum mines managed by CertainTeed, a Saint-Gobain company, commit daily and on the field to the conservation of nature and preservation of biodiversity by bringing constructive solutions to the environmental impacts of gypsum quarrying.
The impacts of gypsum mining to water quality were insignificant and indirect. The study advocates for location of mining sites away from residential areas, regular monitoring, awareness creation on the negative impacts of mining and a review of the mining policy. The study findings contribute to literature on extractive industry activities and ...

Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate (Gypsum) is commonly hydrated by groundwater. The UK is largely self-sufficient in gypsum. The material can be found in seams in the Pennines and the Midlands, but the biggest source of extraction is in East Sussex where mining extracts some 100,000 tonnes of gypsum a year from 100 m below the High Weald.
