Mining has been termed the industry where in capital is depleted to reap profits. In this respect it differs from other basic industries such as farming, fishing or logging, which are also concerned with the initial exploitation of natural resources. In these industries, certain precautions and practices are adopted in due course to encourage and allow nature to rejuvenate and replenish the area. Thus it may be periodically reworked indefinitely, once the proper rotation schedule is established. In the mining industry, however, a company which owns a certain area can mine that area once only, and in order to find new ore, must mine to ever increasing depths.
