    Minerals are non-renewable natural resources that are being depleted. Conservation efforts include using minerals sustainably, developing alternative energy sources, improving efficiency, reducing waste, recycling, and developing new technologies. If depletion continues unabated, some key minerals may be depleted within 100 years. Conservation helps ensure future availability of important mineral resources.

    INTRODUCTION
    • Minerals are naturally existing inorganic solid substance with definite
    physical and chemical properties
    • Minerals are non-renewable and depleting day-by-day
    • Main economic minerals include copper, gold, iron, led and salt.
    • Industries use minerals to make countless products
    • The use of minerals have increased throughout the world
    • But the proved reserves of the minerals as copper, led nickel, and
    zinc may be depleted within 100 years.
    • Deposits are unevenly distributed around the world.
    • The need for the minerals continue to influence international relations
    today. Many countries must import large amounts of various
    minerals.US for example imports more than half of its chromium,
    cobalt, manganese, nickel, platinum, fluorine and tin.
    • Mining destroys the scenic lands and habitats for animals and plants. It
    can also pollute air and water
    • The mineral resources are non- renewable in nature and it is depleting
    day –by-day. The increased use and exploitation of the available
    resources has increased the rate of depletion over the years.
    • This is where the term CONSERVATION get its importance.
    MINERAL CONSERVATION
    • The conservation of minerals can be done in many ways. They
    include:
     Use of mineral in planned and sustainable manner
    Use of alternate source of energy like solar energy ,hydroelectric
    energy, wind energy etc
     Walking on a path leading to sustainable development
    Using the mineral resources with great efficiency.
    Use of renewable sources of energy
    Avoid the over exploitation of minerals
    Use of bio-gas as a fuel for cooking instead of non-renewable source of
    energy

    Reuse and recycle the mineral and their products

    Use of alternate renewable substitutes

    Technology should be improved to use the low grade ores profitably

    Intelligent management of existing resources

    Miners should be trained with new methods of mining using latest


    technology and machines and takes maximum precaution to cause little
    damage to the environment
    In conservation policy emphasis should be on sustainable mining.

    More reliance should be placed on exploitation and utilization of such


    mineral resource which are renewable and are in plenty

    Researches should be carried to develop the new technology which


    should avoid wastage and promote maximum utilization of by-products
    CONCLUSION
    • The minerals are non-renewable resources
    • The mineral resources are the main capital for many contries
    • The renewable resources are depleting day-by-day due to the over
    usage , wastage , and exploitation
    • Varied methods can be adopted to prevent this situation
