Mining in Mongolia

            Though it has had a myriad of negative impacts on the environment, mining is a vital industry completely necessary to our economy and lives. Nearly every item we use in our day to day lives is mined or contains products that are mined. Without excavation and mining such materials things like computers, televisions, electricity, and cars would not be possible. Virtually every technological and medical advance uses minded materials, without which millions would suffer. Mining in Mongolia has boomed in the recent years, with the finding of deposits of gold, copper, coal, and iron ore. With the finding of these deposits and the mineral boom in Mongolia, the government has already planned to triple Mongolia's GDP. Although mining in Mongolia is effecting the environment in a negative way, mining is crucial in Mongolia's economy for many reasons.
