The 1961 Antarctic Treaty ensures that all nations can use land south of 60S for peaceful and scientific purposes. The 1998 Protocol on Environmental Protection established guidelines for waste disposal, marine pollution and the conservation of fauna and flora, and PROHIBITED mining for at least 50 YEARS.
So use cant start mining till 2048, so there is no need to worry about it just yet

This argument falls apart because not every country signed the treaty, a bit like japan not being signatory to the geneva convention. So promptly went ahead and commited some of the worst attrocities (SP?) in history.
