Aims & Scope

Journal of Mining Science is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on the discovery, extraction, processing, and utilization of valuable minerals from the Earth. Facilitates the responsible and efficient extraction of mineral resources while minimizing environmental impact. Covers geomechanics, resource-saving mining technologies, and the stability of mine workings. Provides insights on wave processes in rock mass, mineral dressing, mining machine science, and ventilation systems. Features papers on the mechanical properties, pressure distribution, brittleness, drillability, and blast behavior of rock in mines. Welcomes submissions from all countries.
