Prof. Dr. Mostafa Benzaazoua
Mining, a new MDPI journal, presents a great opportunity
for disseminating your valuable research, focusing on the
mining industry and related engineering sciences. You
will benefit from a rigorous and fast submission, review,
and publication process, facilitated by a strong team of
Editorial Board Members. The research area covers the
global mining life cycle (from prospection/exploration to
mine closure, including ore extraction and beneficiation)
as well as all other aspects of mining. The journal will also
encourage new trends relating to the concept of Mining 4.0,
including best practices and technological developments,
mine digitalization, geometallurgy, and sustainability. We
will work together to make this open-access journal one of
the top journals in the field, with great impact.

Aims and Scope
Mining (ISSN 2673-6489) is a new Journal dedicated
to the scientifically rigorous dissemination of peer-
reviewed publications pertinent to mining science and
engineering in the 21st century. It will benefit from
the success of the MDPI publishing strategy in many
research areas. The mining industry has known recently
many metamorphoses constrained by numerous
economical, technical, social and environmental issues.
World-leading mining companies still need high-level
research and developments in many domains related to
the complete mining cycle. Therefore, research related
to mining is growing in many related fields. Mining is an
accessible tribune, which will encourage submissions
in the form of reviews, research papers, and technical
notes in mining-related scientific themes. There is no
restriction on the length of the papers. We are an online
journal, and we aim to benefit from that by encouraging
researchers to report their research work in as much
detail as possible. This is a requirement as our aim is to
publish research that can be scrutinized in minute detail
and replicated.
