About this journal

Aims and scope

Published by Sage from 2024.

Mining Technology is devoted to all aspects of underground, opencast, and offshore mining operations, including:

•Mining finance, mining economics and evaluation, mineral resources management, planning control and mining law
•Mine design and development, operational techniques, mining machinery, environmental issues, mine management and organization, production and education and training
•Resource and reserve estimation; geostatistics; methods for rapid updating of resource and reserve models; incorporating geometallurgical variables into resource and reserve block models
•Data integration and, particularly, integration of directly measured data and sensed data

Descriptions of mining operations or properties, new or old, including open pit operations, are particularly welcome, specific attention being directed to: reasons for the selection of the equipment and the methods employed; the existing techniques employed; possible future developments; and capital and working costs.

Letters and discussion of published results, furthering promulgation of practical experience, are encouraged.
