It also known as opencast mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts minerals from an open pit in the ground. Open-pit mining is the most common method used throughout the world for mineral mining and does not require extractive methods or tunnels
That's good to hear. Well today we are going to tackle one of the prevalent issues in our locality. Open Pit Mining.
So Class what's your opinion about it? Do you agree on lifting the ban?
Go ahead John
I totally disagree on lifting the ban of open pit mining. It will deteriorate our environment sir. It causes disturbance to our mother earth specially with how they disposed the wastes of this activity.
Permission to speak sir.
That's a good point. How about others, what do you think?
Go ahead, Andrew.
We can restore the site after the mining sir. And by restore I mean replanting trees. I agree on lifting the ban of open pit Mining, because this will contribute not only to the local economy but national as well.
So you're okay with our environment being destroyed?
