Worldwide, mining has become more challenging due to socioeconomic and environmental factors. In many significant mining regions, there is fierce rivalry from other land uses, and resources like water and electricity are limited. Although more people are opposing mining, they are not yet prepared to drastically curtail their usage of products made from minerals. The industry has a lot of work to do to enhance its performance and reputation. The Green Mining concept (GM) was created as a key tool to establish Finland as a leader in environmentally friendly mining. It encourages resource, water, and energy efficiency to lessen the environmental impact of the life cycles of mineral-based products. GM minimises mining waste and enables the recovery of all usable minerals. For future generations to have access to mineral resources, GM must make substantial long-term investments mineral exploration is backed by research on mineral systems, geoscientific mapping, and the creation of exploration methods. At all phases of its operations, GM strives to minimise negative environmental and social effects while maximising local benefits. GM assists in structuring the activities so that they are safe for workers, meaningful for them, and safe for the environment. GM assists in restoring the mining areas after mine closure to make them safe and, ideally, to enable various sorts of land use. Throughout the entire mining life cycle, from early prospecting on, wide-ranging participation is essential.
