There have been similar improvements across the board in metals mining and agriculture.

Mining and manufacturing metals is a costly, energy intensive, and, often, ecologically destructive process.

Ms. Kathryn McPhail (International Council of Mining and Metals) presented the Council's Sustainable Development Framework.

There is substantial mining of non ferrous metals (copper, zinc, lead and gold) and of iron ore.

Most recently, it has conducted an in depth study together with the International Council on Mining and Metals and the World Bank.

Of the 2,300 companies involved in the Global Compact, 60 were from the oil and gas sector and 62 from mining and metals.

While stating concern for a stable market for the metals produced from deep seabed mining, some delegations were of the opinion that the formula was an adequate means for assuring favourable introduction of metals into the market.

What if we were to separate out metals from waste streams, small amounts of metals in water? That's what microbes do they chelate metals out of water.

Above all, the continuing stagnation of the world metals market will delay the development of seabed mining an inherently capital intensive and risky venture until after the turn of the century.
