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.

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.

Mail has applications in sculpture and jewellery, especially when made out of precious metals or colourful anodized metals.

And they extract the metals by hand.

And this attracts metals from their local environment.

And we'll start especially with the alkali metals.

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.

29. Under a regional project concerning the Asian Pacific region (RAS 92 034), an inventory of environmental legislation and practices concerning the mining and metals industries in selected countries in the region has been carried out.

What if we were to separate out metals from waste streams, small amounts of metals in water?

Mining, milling, and tailings

Export income is dominated by precious metals, base metals and minerals, which together still account for about 80 per cent of revenue.

And so they're valuable. This is precious metals and gemstones.

Mining costs can be reduced by recycling mercury and upgrading mining technologies and methodologies.
