Impact of Open Pit Mining on Karst Springs
2021
Much of the mining and quarrying conducted in karst areas is for the rock itself. Some carbonate rocks contain valuable supplies of water, oil, and gas. They may weather to form bauxite deposits and host ore deposits such as lead, zinc, iron, and gold. Coal is often found within thick carbonate sequences, while diamond-bearing kimberlitic pipes may penetrate through them.
