This third edition of the SME Mining Engineering Handbook
reaffirms its international reputation as "the handbook of choice"
for today's practicing mining engineer. It distills the body of
knowledge that characterizes mining engineering as a disciplinary
field and has subsequently helped to inspire and inform generations
of mining professionals.
Virtually all of the information is original content,
representing the latest information from more than 250
internationally recognized mining industry experts.
Within the handbook's 115 thought-provoking chapters are current
topics relevant to today's mining professional: Analyzing how the
mining and minerals industry will develop over the medium and long
term--why such changes are inevitable, what this will mean in terms
of challenges, and how they could be managedExplaining the
mechanics associated with the multifaceted world of mine and
mineral economics, from the decisions associated with how best to
finance a single piece of high-value equipment to the long-term
cash-flow issues associated with mine planning at a mature
operationDescribing the recent and ongoing technical initiatives
and engineering developments in relation to robotics, automation,
acid rock drainage, block caving optimization, or process
dewatering methodsExamining in detail the methods and equipment
available to achieve efficient, predictable, and safe rock
breakingIdentifying the salient points that dictate which is the
safest, most efficient, and most versatile extraction method to
employ, as well as describing in detail how each alternative is
engineeredDiscussing the impacts that social and environmental
issues have on mining from the pre-exploration phase to end-of-mine
issues and beyond, and how to manage these two increasingly
important factors to the benefit of both the mining companies and
other stakeholders
