There has never been any commercial mining in Antarctica, there are no current plans to mine Antarctica and mining is currently completely banned by the Antarctic Treaty. There are no known future plans by any of the Antarctic Treaty nations to reverse this decision.

I really think something is hidden in Antarctica. I have a feeling it's some kind of unknown minerals that could be used for some kind of advanced technology possibly, like levitation. Maybe a super durable material that is very light.
Can anyone give a good reason for the following treaty?

I mean i am all for preserving nature and all that by why in hell would you not allow any kind of mining, EVER. I don't know, something odd is going on. And then add on Admiral Byrd's mysterious voyage with 4700 men to "map out" antarctica, i mean come on!

Environmental awareness started around the '70s and it took a while before there was taken action by our wonderful pokliticians, so why did they sign that treaty to protect Antarctica back in '58?
