Mining in Alberta,Canada

 I could see how mining grew through the years. As mining grew other things like houses and other things started growing. This caused damage to the environment but created wealth for the community and for the economy. I also can connect this when you find something of value and pass the word of how much money you will win if you invest and maybe some company decided to invest and the mine grew and grew. A question I have is what minerals did the mine have, maybe they had really important minerals that could be sold at a large price and that is why it grew so much during the years. I think the mine depending on what it has and its value will increase or decrease.
