Abstract

Mining is characterized by causing strong impacts to the environment, hence the objective of the work, which is to make known the main impacts caused to the environment by the exploitation of the Jacinto deposit located in the Guáimaro municipality in the province of Camagüey; Despite this, said exploitation represents an activity of great importance for the territory, for its contribution to the economy of the country, the province and local economic and social benefits. In this case, each area of ​​alteration in land, water, atmospheric air and socio-economic subsystems was determined and characterized by its duration. As a result of the work, it is demonstrated that in the development of mining activities, in addition to the primary impacts fundamentally given by the deterioration of the landscape, the biotic elements, the relief and the economy that intervene in the stability of the ecosystem, secondary impacts appear mainly related to water, air and soil pollution. The sustainable exploitation of this deposit can only be carried out by taking the relevant measures in each of the actions, in order to make deposit exploitation and the preservation of the environment compatible.
