Abstract
Mineral raw materials belong to non-renewable resources. Their content in the Earth’s crust is limited and they undergo regeneration only in specific geologic conditions during hundreds, thousands or even millions of years. The sustainable use of mineral resources depends mostly on their protection and efficient management. However, due to growing population on Earth, the economy will not fulfill an increasing demand for mineral resources. This article presents various methods of extending the future availability of mineral resources, as well as indicates some potential problems in implementation of sustainable management of mineral resources.
