Dear student,

Significance of conservation of minerals- 

• Conservation of mineral resources is essential because they are a country’s valuable possession.
• Mineral resources are the fundamental material support for socio-economic progress. Demographic results show that higher than 95% of the energy used by humankind, 80% manufacturing raw materials and 70% raw materials for agricultural production are from mineral resources.

Methods of conservation of minerals- 

1. Minerals must be used in a planned and sustainable manner.
2. Recycling of metals.
3. Use of alternative renewable substitutes.
4. Technology should be advanced to use the low-grade ores efficiently.

Regards.
