mining community
A mining community is a group of people whose lives and economies are centered around mining activities, such as extracting minerals, metals, or coal from the earth. These communities often develop around mining sites to provide housing, services, and support for workers and their families. They can be located in remote or isolated areas, relying heavily on the success of the mining operation. While they benefit economically from resource extraction, mining communities also face challenges like environmental impact, health risks, and economic dependencies on fluctuating commodity prices.
