An Overview of Slope Failure in Mining Operations

Peter Kolapo, Gafar Omotayo Oniyide, Khadija Omar Said et al. · 2 Jun 2022

The primary aim of every twenty-first century mining operation is to extract as much ore as possible in a safe and economical manner. Failure in mine excavation occurs when the shear stress acting on the rock is greater than the shear strength of the rock mass. The stability of rock slopes in open-pit mine and…

A Review of In Situ Leaching (ISL) for Uranium Mining

Guihe Li, Jia Yao · 2 Mar 2024

Uranium, a cornerstone for nuclear energy, facilitates a clean and efficient energy conversion. In the era of global clean energy initiatives, uranium resources have emerged as a vital component for achieving sustainability and clean power. To fulfill the escalating demand for clean energy, continual advancements in uranium mining technologies are imperative. Currently, established uranium mining…

Rock Fragmentation Prediction Using an Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Regression Hybrid Approach

Richard Amoako, Ankit Jha, Shuo Zhong · 24 Apr 2022

While empirical rock fragmentation models are easy to parameterize for blast design, they are usually prone to errors, resulting in less accurate fragment size prediction. Among other shortfalls, these models may be unable to accurately account for the nonlinear relationship that exists between fragmentation input and output parameters. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are potentially able…

Application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for Prediction and Optimization of Blast-Induced Impacts

Ali Y. Al-Bakri, Mohammed Sazid · 26 Nov 2021

Drilling and blasting remain the preferred technique used for rock mass breaking in mining and construction projects compared to other methods from an economic and productivity point of view. However, rock mass breaking utilizes only a maximum of 30% of the blast explosive energy, and around 70% is lost as waste, thus creating negative impacts…

Environmental Impacts of Gold Mining—With Special Reference to South Africa

Michiel C. Laker · 25 Mar 2023

Gold mining has serious negative environmental impacts, especially due to pollution emanating from tailings storage facilities (TSFs, tailings dams, slimes dams). The most important forms of pollution from TSFs are acid mine drainage (AMD) and high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). AMD arises from the high levels of pyrite in the mining ores, which…

Mining template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Mining format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Mining template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Mining use?
Mining uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Mining 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Mining?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Mining document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Mining template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Mining format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Mining?
Mining - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Mining PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Mining template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Mining template cost?
You can start writing in the Mining template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Mining PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
