Primary mineral Resource Data Metallogenic Map

How do designation areas (i.e., national parks) may restrict exploration/extraction of commodity x in region/country x? How much waste is generated by mining commodity x at location y? What shall be done for preparing and submitting an EIA study for the development of mineral resources? How much is expected to be reused or recycled? How much is being invested in exploration for commodity/metal x? Which method could be used in the decision-making process?
