us how damaging the gold mining industry must have been in its peak. So much sediment is dislodged and flushed downstream, which affects the organism that live in the creeks that rely of specific water conditions, including turbidity, or cloudiness of the water. On a large scale, the gold mining techniques demonstrated by the family at Las Minas in Rancho Quemado would have significant environmental impacts.

fissures and dissolves certain minerals in the rocks, is the process that form copper. The mineral is carried along with hot water solution then reacts with chlorine or fluorine and precipitate.

This issue affects us because one day we will run out of resources such as coal gas or oil and it will lead to a difficult like which…
