Environmental impacts of mining appear to be most well known all over the world – almost beyond the necessity of further elucidation and questioning ([2, 3]; Table 1). The mining industry has recognized its impact on the environment and has identified the control and restriction of such impact as one of its key challenges [4, 47].

Mining is the extraction of minerals and other geological materials of economic value from deposits on the Earth. Mining adversely affects the environment by inducing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and contamination of surface water, groundwater, and soil. Mining can also trigger the formation of sinkholes.
