38. Mining is one of the most dangerous and deadliest jobs on earth.

Mining kills and injures more workers than any other industry. For example:

* The USA: From January to October 1999, 45mine workers died because of workplace accidents.


* South Africa: One worker dies and 12 are seriously injured for every ton of gold produced.


* China: 3,362 people died as a result of accidents in coal mines in 1996.


* World-wide: Uranium mining has caused 20,000 deaths since the 1950s. Uranium mining has exposed more workers to radiation than any other industry.

37. Mining doesn't make poor countries rich.


Nations where the most mining takes place are also some of the poorest countries in the world. In these countries, national governments are helping mining companies to get the minerals they want. The small amount of money that poor countries get from mining companies is taken by international banks, not local people. Fourteen Majority World countries get at least a third of their export revenues from minerals. Their external debts are 1.4 times greater than their Gross National Product (GNP).
