This study presents an application of Boruta-SHapley Additive ExPlanations (Boruta-SHAP) for geotechnical characterization using Measure-While-Drilling (MWD) data, enabling a more interpretable and statistically rigorous assessment of feature importa...

The lithium market has been expanding due to the high demand for lithium-ion batteries, which are essential for electric and hybrid vehicles as well as portable devices. This has driven the search for new lithium ore deposits and the development of m...

This study examines the conversion of an overflow ball mill into a new discharge system via Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations, demonstrating significant performance improvements. The methodology integ...

The closure of coal and lignite mines has the potential to result in long-term environmental risks and socio-economic issues. To solve these, this research aims to improve the hazard assessment and risk management of former mining regions in a Europe...

Iron ore extraction can lead to significant environmental degradation, particularly due to the generation of tailings during the beneficiation process. This issue was highlighted by the B1 dam collapse in Brumadinho, Brazil, in 2019. Therefore, the s...

When volumes of mining excavations change, rock mass is displaced. Convergence in a salt mine may lead to substantial deformations. The displacement may, in turn, cause an inrush of water from the rock mass into the mine, which is a catastrophic even...

The underground mining industry faces significant challenges in maintaining reliable communication due to multipath fading and physical obstructions, leading to weak signals and dead spots. This study addresses these issues by proposing a smart anten...

The numerous challenges facing the global mining industry and the adverse impacts on the natural and human environment call for urgent action. In the present industry 4.0, the signature influx of emerging technologies (ETs) has seen various sectors o...

With the accelerating global transition to clean energy, underground hydrogen storage (UHS) has gained significant attention as a flexible and renewable energy storage technology. Ontario, Canada, as a pioneer in energy transition, offers substantial...

Geometallurgy is an approach that integrates geology, mining, processing, and environmental areas, aiming to increase knowledge of the deposit and reduce risks in mining projects and/or operations. Growing changes in economic and operational scenario...
