If appropriate regulations and measures are not enforced, the agriculture, fisheries, and tourism assets of such coastal areas may be jeopardized (Carvalho et al. The extraction cost of base metals is large and its extraction usually requires intensive investment, the buildup of large infrastructures, and generally produces large environmental impacts (Fig. 2014).

Although there are natural resources wealth countries that fail to reach their full potential, governments can make policy decisions that help avoid some of the negative consequences of resources extraction and invest profits in social and economic development of the country. The ambient radiation dose on the top of natural sand dunes was about 0.08 μSv/h, while in the processing plant facility, it averaged 1.5 μSv/h, and after minerals segregation by the piles of ilmenite, it was about 7.8 μSv/h. The wet mineral concentrate is further processed to segregate the heavier minerals using gravimetric and magnetic procedures. 1). 2010). However, in a short time, the access to water from the wells drilled by the mine and the opportunity to recycle scrap materials (metal, timber, plastic) attracted people. From phosphate rock produced annually, most is converted into phosphoric acid and, from this, 82% is used in fertilizer, 9% in animal feed and beverages, and 9% into nonfood industrial production (e.g.

Today, coal still accounts for the production of near to 25% of the world's energy, but is declining fast, and by 2050, coal will contribute to about one‐third only (IEA, 2017). Local communities, particularly in deprived and poor regions, want to share the wealth of mining and obtain from mining a positive effect in their lives.
