Did you know that essential goods like glass windows, matches, toothpaste and table salt are all made of minerals? Minerals are found in the earth and we have to dig for them. Sometimes, we have to dig very, very, very deep beneath the planet's surface to get the minerals we need. Come learn all about the mining industry and the new techniques implemented to reduce its negative impacts on the landscape, water resources and local wildlife.

In English. No reservation necessary.
