FAQ
Why mine tiny?
In today’s world, metals are in greater demand but are becoming ever scarcer. Tiny Mining aims to recover more than 20 elements including precious and other metals from a novel, sustainable and renewable resource: from within the living human body.
What exactly is Tiny Mining?
Tiny Mining [TM] is the first open source mineral exploration co-operative and resource specialist committed to the potential exploitation of the interior of the human body for rare earth and other mineral resources in the interests of human and planetary health. TM supports a wide and diverse global community of tiny miners.
Is Tiny Mining ecological?
We believe that the earth should remain as pristine and untouched nature; we have no desire to carry on extracting resources from an ever depleted world, polluting and laying waste to the landscape. Saving the planet is now a matter of becoming sensitive to our own geological being. In mining ourselves we gain knowledge of our own bodies, our selves and the global environment. This is a final ecology for the end days. Nature will remain and our technologies will now be sourced from within; we will thus no longer be dependent on scarce and already polluted environmental resources.
