D. new jobs, degradation of local culture, and long-term environmental problemsWhat are some ways that a new mining project would impact the area in which it is located?I bet your teacher is looking for answer D, but that's not entirely true all the time. "Degradation of local culture" sounds like a catch phrase for. "Yes, of course mines are 100% necessary if we want to maintain our current standard of living and our culture as we know it, but we don't want one near us." If everyone said that, imagine how our "culture" would fall apart.What are some ways that a new mining project would impact the area in which it is located?Possibly D.



But B also looks viable. It also depends on what type of project. An open cast mine gets the Greene's going, because they don't like digging holes, but creates heaps of jobs at the site and improves the downstream jobs.

Toxic waste is another issue,as mining uses chemicals to further process the ore to get the minerals, and the waste isn't going to go away.Mining towns in countries such as Australia are normally single man camps, where people are flown in for a few weeks, and then flown out again at the end of their shift.
