Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mineral resources are important materials that can be used to promote human civilization and scientific and technological progress. The scientific management of mineral resources (including their assessment, mining, and processing) is beneficial to improving their overall utilization rate, which is also conducive to reducing the environmental pollution caused by their incomplete consumption. Due to the widespread attention that the Special Issue “Mineral Resource Management 2023: Assessment, Mining and Processing” received, a second Special Issue, titled “Mineral Resource Management 2025: Assessment, Mining and Processing”, is being launched. Taking mineral resources as the research object, this Special Issue aims to collect diverse and impactful research articles, short communications, and review articles that address a wide range of topics pertinent to mineral assessment, mining, and processing. Research may discuss metallic minerals, nonmetallic minerals, coal, and various other mineral species, and any submissions related to these topics will be welcomed.
