25/4/2017#0183;#32;Often, the worst effects of mining activities are observed after the mining process has ceased. The destruction or drastic modification of the premined landscape can have a catastrophic impact on the biodiversity of that area. Mining leads to a massive habitat loss for a diversity of flora and fauna ranging from soil microorganisms to large mammals.
mining could have major impacts on the spatial patterns of rural development in Africa. Mining roads will certainly encourage major movements of populations into hitherto sparsely populated regions and this will increase pressures from land clearing and bushmeat hunting for local consumption (Wilkie amp; Carpenter 1999; Brashares et al. 2004). Further, as roads cut into previously inacces
erosion and loss of viability for agricultural purposes, among other uses; increased clearing of vegetation for mining. areas has adversely altered the hydrological regimes and/or patterns in the western region of Ghana; important soil.
Mining is the extraction of natural resources from the earths crust for economical use Importance of mining to East Africa Governments earn foreign exchange used for national development through the exportation of minerals to other countries. Governments earn revenue by taxing the workers within the mining sector used for the development of infrastructure roads. Importance of
townships and areas away from the mining, dust pollution is the result of vehicular traffic. The roads in all sections of Tsvingwe are not tarred and with the soil type (brown earth) any vehicular movement raises a lot of dust. Dust pollution was said to be one of the biggest impact of mining in the Penhalonga area.
Coal mining threatens . peoples access to water in Mpumalanga, South Africa. u. South Africa is one of the thirty driest countries in the world. This is due to its geographical location and low annual rainfall, however, largescale mining . operations also have an increasing negative impact on the countrys water quality and availability.
SUMMARY. Environmental impacts from mining operations are significant and quite often severe, especially in developing nations which lack adequate management of the sector. In Zambia, impacts from mining results from both historical and ongoing mining operations, and the majority of them is located in the Copperbelt district.

11/7/2006#0183;#32;Environmental pressure from mining activities such as those from the platinum sector occurs through the finegrounded slurry from the processing plants, with its associated extracting chemicals that reach the tailings disposal facility (TDF). It is important that the effects of these activities on the environment are examined, especially in South Africa where there is a general paucity on data
