False.
Long-term mineral extraction produces lasting environmental, social and economic consequences — e.g. habitat loss and biodiversity decline, soil erosion and landscape alteration, groundwater and surface-water contamination (acid mine drainage, heavy metals), persistent tailings and waste, and long-term community and health impacts. Many effects can persist for decades to centuries.
