Mining industry in Japan - statistics & facts
Many industries worldwide depend on the supply of mineral commodities from underground. Consequently, the mining sector is important for the global economy. The mining sector includes the extraction of naturally occurring mineral solids, such as ores and coal, liquid minerals, such as crude oil, as well as gases, such as natural gas. In a broad sense, it includes quarrying and other preparations that are carried out at mines, or as part of mining activities.
