A French startup is extracting nickel without digging a single hole. Using plants that absorb metal through their roots, they've successfully harvested nickel in just a few monthsβleaving the soil intact and ecosystems untouched. It's phytomining, and it could change how we source rare metals.

Environmental Impact of Gold Mining
Gold mining can bring severe pollution hazards, including:
β’ Water Pollution β Cyanide & mercury contamination threaten aquatic life & human health.
β’ Air Pollution β Dust and toxic fumes harm air quality & respiratory health.
β’ Soil Degradation β Heavy metals like mercury & arsenic poison the land, harming agriculture & wildlife.
β’ Biodiversity Loss β Destruction of natural habitats leads to extinction of vulnerable species.
β’ Health Risks β Exposure to toxic chemicals causes neurological damage, cancers, and more.
β’ Acid Mine Drainage β Harmful acids leak into water systems, causing long-term damage.
A stark reminder: The Cadia gold mine has been convicted of breaching dust limits five times between 2021-2023, with one test showing nearly 6x the allowable dust limit. Newmont Corporation has been fined $350,000 in penalties.
Itβs time for stricter regulations and sustainable mining practices!
