Journal of Environment and Sustainable Mining is dedicated to the core problems of contemporary mining, for which issues related to sustainable development pose a great challenge nowadays. The mission of this journal is to promote and spread knowledge not only concerning the concept of sustainable development in mining, but most of all, specialist knowledge based on international research findings as well as technological solutions and methods, in which this vital concept is discussed and implemented.

Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish the findings of their experimental and theoretical research related to the challenges of more complex extraction conditions, e.g. great depths, natural hazards, environmental restrictions, which all increase the production costs. The studies concerning the issues related to the novel approach towards the mining sector and the development of environment friendly, clean technologies of minerals extraction and processing are also welcome.

The scope of the Journal of Environment and Sustainable Mining includes minimizing the negative impacts of mining on the environment, while ensuring the responsible and efficient use of mineral resources for present and future generations. This requires addressing environmental issues, social concerns, and economic considerations throughout the mining life cycle.

Many environmental issues are an inseparable part of any kind of mining activity and influence the overall economic system of the mining industry. Sustainable management of the environment in any way affected by mining activity has a crucial influence on a matter of national environmental significance in countries where mining of fossil fuels and valuable minerals is under development. That is why Journal of Environment and Sustainable Mining covers also topics related to environmental protection at industrial areas, safe waste disposal and post-mining land reclamation.
