Mine Design, Planning and Sustainable Exploitation in the Digital Age 1st Edition

Capture the future of modern mining with Mine Design, Planning and Sustainable Exploitation in the Digital Age — 1st Edition by A.J.S. (Sam) Spearing, Liqiang Ma, and Cong-An Ma. This authoritative guide presents a clear, practical pathway for professionals and students navigating the intersection of engineering, sustainability, and digital innovation.

Begin with a compelling overview of contemporary mine design and planning, then move into detailed, actionable strategies that make resource extraction both efficient and responsible. The authors combine decades of field experience with up-to-date digital techniques—covering data-driven mine planning, geological modelling, optimization algorithms, and environmental and social impact assessment—to show how modern tools improve decision-making across the mine lifecycle.

Readers gain industry-ready insights on risk management, rehabilitation planning, water and waste stewardship, and regulatory compliance—framed for application in diverse geological settings from North America and Europe to Australia, Africa, and Latin America. Practical examples and scenario-based discussions help translate technical concepts into implementable plans for engineers, planners, consultants, and policy-makers.

Whether you’re advancing a career in mining engineering, leading sustainable resource projects, or teaching the next generation of industry professionals, this volume delivers a rigorous, forward-looking approach. It balances technical depth with accessible explanation, making complex digital workflows and sustainability frameworks usable on real projects.
