SME Surface Mining Handbook

This landmark publication distills the collective knowledge of the surface mining industry’s most astute and discerning professionals. There are an extraordinary number of sectors that must be harnessed and understood before any surface operation can become a viable and profitable enterprise.

Most of the world’s natural resources are mined from open-sky, surface operations. If the mining world is to continue to provide the building blocks that global development demands, surface mining must be conducted in a smarter and more sustainable way, with fewer people and under greater scrutiny than in the past to match the expectations of a skeptical public, environmental custodians, and host communities, as well as the legislative and financial entities that allow mining to continue. The SME Surface Mining Handbook captures the essence of efficient, safe, and effective surface mining, thus inspiring and informing current and future generations of mining professionals.

The SME Surface Mining Handbook describes the major methodologies involved in the surface extraction of ores, highlights the direction of change, and examines and communicates the developments within the sector. It explores the varied work being undertaken by individuals, academia, companies, equipment manufacturers, and specialist organizations in overcoming the myriad challenges that face today’s surface mining industry.

SME Underground Mining Handbook

The SME Underground Mining Handbook distills the body of knowledge from many of the world’s most distinguished mining professionals, mbringing clarity to this multi-faceted engineering discipline. By presenting the leading edge of the industry’s expertise, this landmark publication will inspire and inform both current and future generations of mining professionals.

The need to mine deeper for ever-decreasing ore grades in more austere and remote parts of the world under greater scrutiny by both a discerning public and the communities where mining takes place, as well as those who finance such operations, is the backdrop for this book. As these—and other conditions—become more demanding, the mining industry must learn to operate more efficiently and effectively, and with fewer operators and engineers.

The SME Underground Mining Handbook describes the major methodologies employed within this global industry, highlights the thrust and direction of change, and examines the white heat of revolutionary developments within numerous sectors. It also explores the myriad of research projects and work being undertaken by individuals, academia, companies, equipment manufacturers, and specialist organizations in overcoming the plethora of challenges that face today’s underground mining industry.
