About this journal

The International Journal of Mining, Reclamation and Environment publishes research on mining and environmental technology engineering relating to metalliferous deposits, coal, oil sands, and industrial minerals.

We welcome environmental mining research papers that explore:

• Mining environmental impact assessment and permitting
• Mining and processing technologies
• Mining waste management and waste minimization practices in mining
• Mine site closure
• Mining decommissioning and reclamation
• Acid mine drainage

The International Journal of Mining, Reclamation and Environment welcomes mining research papers that explore:

• Design of surface and underground mines (economics, geotechnical, production scheduling, ventilation)
• Mine planning and optimization
• Mining geostatics
• Mine drilling and blasting technologies
• Mining material handling systems
• Mine equipment

We operate a rigorous peer review process based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. Visit our Instructions for Authors page for information on preparing your manuscript.
