Mining generally requires a large labour force, thus providing many job opportunities, such as in construction at start-up (2–4 years) and in thousands of manual-intensive jobs. Mining companies can provide benefits to their host communities, including infrastructure, basic services, and communications networks.

Such problem is especially aggravated by two unique situations. One Antarctica has an extremely harsh climate and terrain, mining for resources there already poses huge costs. Two, in order for the resources from Antarctica to be meaningful in helping poor nations, significant sums has to be given up by companies.

Benefits seen, and unseen. The many benefits nature provides to humans are known as "ecosystem services". Some services provided by Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are invisible to most people. For example, the Southern Ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, and ice in the region reflects heat.

Although the existence of mineral deposits in Antarctica is highly probable, the chances of finding them are quite small. Minerals have been found there in great variety but only as occurrences. Manganese nodules, water (as ice), geothermal energy, coal, petroleum, and natural gas are potential resources that could perhaps be exploited in the future.
