"This book provides a general description of international sustainable mining practices since 1992 and formulates a standard definition of sustainable mining. It gives a detailed overview of the current status of mining practices in the Americas, Asia (with an emphasis on India), and Europe. Issues in sustainable mining practices addressed in this book include: the large volume of waste generated during mining; mine closure planning; managing the environmental impacts of mining; land use planning; and energy use management. The exclusive specialty of this book is entrenched in the detailed coverage of the sustainable mining systems and technologies that are currently used in developed countries." "Mineland reclamation and the role of environmental indicators in mining operations are discussed in great detail, with several examples of successful mineland reclamation in the U.S., and abandoned mineland reclamation in the western U.S." "A chapter is devoted to Best Mining Practices for Sustainable Mining and the concluding chapter of the book presents several case histories of sustainable mining practices in the Americas (including sustainable exploration practices), Asia (with emphasis on India) and Africa (Tanzania and Zambia)."--BOOK JACKET.

Industry Reviews

"...an invaluable reference for the mining profession. It takes the concept of sustainable mining and applies it to real-world environmental problems at mines located throughout the world through case studies, supported through sound engineering practices and with an eye toward long-term impacts. This volume has long been missing in the profession and should be on the desk of every practitioner whose job is to minimize environmental impacts on mine workers and surrounding communities. Much criticism of the mining industry would be muted if these concepts and recommendations are implemented worldwide. We can only hope that this volume will provide new impetus for such sustainable mining."
-Jack Fritz, National Academy of Engineering, Washington, D.C., USA
