Mines and Mining Environments: research contributions to value mining resources responsibly
Mines and Mining Environments: research contributions to value mining resources responsibly
Session ID#: 78243
Session Description:
The development of new technologies, renewable energies and infrastructures implies the growing demand for raw materials. Given the known reserves, mining activity will increasingly develop in the countries of the tropical and subtropical belt. These countries will have to consider, in their development model, the positive and negative externalities of mining projects. Following the SDG recommendations, the economic, societal and environmental impacts must be investigated at local and global levels, in the light of current knowledge and best-known techniques, applicable throughout the life cycle of mining projects. This includes geological mapping, exploration, exploitation, metallurgy, reduction of negative impacts, and restoration of degraded sites processes. This session focuses on research contributions bringing together the actors involved in mining activities (academia, mining industry, governments) to increase knowledge in each component, and to promote model(s) for a responsible mining activity. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research contributions are welcome and encouraged.
