Nature positive mining – an oxymoron?

How can an industry that 'digs holes in the ground' be nature positive?

Should mining not take place in some areas of very high value for nature – and if not, who gets to decide where?
What specifically for mining does a nature positive future look like, and what foundational steps does the industry need to take?
