minerals that take priority over the land. When mining harmful radioactive elements and metallic dust may be exposed and pose a threat. Even after mines close down and are no longer in use‚ the harmful pollutants often remain in the soil and the rivers remain contaminated with heavy metals. This continues to have an impact on the growth of plant life and the land cover of the site for many years to
