Analyzing the Mining Industry in the United States
Aruvian's R'search, Nov 2009, Pages: 125
The United States mining industry is an important contributor to the nation’s economy and employs over millions of workers in this great endeavor to utilize the nation’s resources for growth and fuelling industry demand for raw materials which they process in order to remain global leaders.
The United States produces a wide variety of commodities from gold to coal. It has a land area of over 9.6 million square kilometers, 19,924 kilometers of coastline, and a population of over 298 million people. It uses 25% of the world’s energy reserves and spends more on maintaining its military might than most other country's entire GDP. It is with the support of the mining industry that the US has earned the coveted title of being the world's second largest producer of copper and gold, exporting over $26 billion worth of minerals and materials produced from minerals each year. Further, its mining industry employs over three million people directly and indirectly.
The US is split into ten provinces for geological purposes namely the: Pacific Mountain System; Columbia Plateau; Basin and Range; Colorado Plateau; Rocky Mountain System; Laurentian Upland; Interior Plains; Interior Highlands; Appalachian Highlands; and Atlantic Plain.
Aruvian's R'search’s report – Analyzing the Mining Industry in the United States - explains the historical lineage of mining as instincts to search for resources honed and passed down from earlier generations. The techniques deployed since then have changed far to more organized and systematic as explained in the reports about the Surface & Sub Surface mining techniques. The report further examines the environmental impact of the mining industry and some of the past cases worldwide wherein heavy pollution excesses were noted.
