How can we Conserve Mineral Resources?

Answer: Minerals are an essential component of our everyday lives. Minerals are the building blocks for almost all the things we use.

Minerals play a significant part in the transportation industry because they are essential to both the manufacturing process and the operation of the various types of locomotives.

Mineral resources are being depleted at an alarming rate, despite the fact that their formation and concentration both take millions of years.

The following are some of the ways in which minerals can be preserved:

• Try to minimise the amount of waste produced by the mining process.
• Metals are recycled using scrap metals in this process.
• Make use of substitutes that are alternative and renewable.
• Utilization of mineral resources in a manner that is both planned and sustainable.
• Utilization of improved technologies to enable mining of low-grade ores at cost-effective levels
