3.8.3 Implications for Mine Waste Containing Zinc. Zinc is a reasonably common contaminant in mine wastes, but compared to some of the other metals mentioned here it does not pose such a significant risk to planetary health due to its relatively low toxicity and fewer environmental impacts. The effect of Zn on soils and soil microorganisms is

Rock or Solid Mine Waste. Open pit mining has several stages of waste. First, to access the actual seams or veins of ore, the top layers of rock or overburden must be removed. Once the overburden has been removed, the seams can be extracted. When extracting the seams, there is additional waste rock that must be separated from the ore.
