6. How is your mineral mined and processed? Hint: try searching your mineral + mine + process.
Include information about what the working conditions are for those in the mines. What are the
specific health and safety risks associated with the mining? What is being done to address the
specific health and safety risks? Try to find out how and how much the mineworkers are paidper ton, per hour, per day.
7. What is the current value of your mineral: $/g or $/oz. or $/ton or $/kg?
9. Remember your mineral may be made of more than one element, for example, galena is made
of lead and sulfur. The elements may determine the use of the mineral. I will post some web
sites on Earth Matters that might help you find the uses of your mineral.
10. Minerals often have special properties, one of which is their crystal shape. Find a photograph of
your mineral in its crystal form to place in your final presentation.
