Aims and Scope
Journal DOI: 10.33140/JGM
Journal of Geology & Mining is an international peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to publishing scholarly research related to geological sciences, mineral exploration, mining engineering, and earth resource management. The journal provides a platform for geologists, mining engineers, earth scientists, environmental researchers, and industry professionals working in the study of earth materials, geological processes, mineral resources, and sustainable mining practices.
The journal aims to publish high-quality research that improves understanding of geological formations, mineral deposits, earth surface processes, and extraction technologies used in mining industries. Research addressing geological investigations, mineral resource exploration, mining technologies, and environmental impacts of mining activities is appropriate for publication.
Journal of Geology & Mining welcomes original research articles, review papers, geological surveys, technical reports, case studies, and interdisciplinary investigations related to geological sciences and mining engineering. The journal encourages contributions from academic institutions, geological survey organizations, and mining research laboratories worldwide.
Geological Sciences and Earth Processes
The journal publishes research addressing fundamental aspects of geological science and earth system processes. Studies involving stratigraphy, sedimentology, structural geology, petrology, mineralogy, and tectonic processes are appropriate for submission.
Research examining the formation of rocks and minerals, the geological evolution of the earth’s crust, and physical processes that shape the earth’s surface is also within the scope of the journal. Investigations exploring volcanic activity, plate tectonics, mountain formation, and sedimentary basin development are encouraged.
Studies addressing geological mapping, field geology investigations, and analysis of geological formations are also suitable topics for publication.
Mineral Exploration and Resource Assessment
The journal considers research related to mineral exploration methods and the evaluation of natural mineral resources. Studies involving geological prospecting, mineral deposit analysis, ore formation processes, and mineral resource assessment are appropriate for submission.
Research examining exploration techniques such as geophysical surveys, geochemical analysis, remote sensing technologies, and geological modelling of mineral deposits is also welcomed. Investigations addressing mineral reserve estimation and exploration strategies for metallic and non-metallic resources are relevant topics for the journal.
Studies involving exploration of precious metals, base metals, industrial minerals, rare earth elements, and energy-related mineral resources are also considered.
Mining Engineering and Extraction Technologies
The journal publishes studies addressing engineering techniques used for mineral extraction and mining operations. Research involving surface mining methods, underground mining systems, drilling technologies, blasting techniques, and mine design is appropriate for publication.
Investigations examining mining equipment development, automation in mining operations, and advanced mining technologies are also encouraged. Research addressing mine planning, mineral processing systems, and ore beneficiation techniques is also within the scope of the journal.
Studies related to rock mechanics, mine ventilation systems, and safety engineering in mining operations are also suitable topics for submission.
Environmental Geology and Sustainable Mining
The environmental impact of mining activities is an important area of research. The journal welcomes studies addressing environmental geology, land degradation caused by mining, and environmental management practices in mining regions.
Research examining mine waste management, tailings disposal systems, acid mine drainage, and rehabilitation of mined lands is appropriate for publication. Investigations exploring sustainable mining practices, environmental monitoring of mining sites, and restoration of disturbed ecosystems are encouraged.
Studies addressing environmental regulations, environmental risk assessment, and sustainable resource management in mining industries are also relevant.
Hydrogeology and Geotechnical Studies
The journal also considers research related to hydrogeology, groundwater systems, and geotechnical properties of geological formations. Studies examining groundwater resources, aquifer characteristics, and water management in mining regions are appropriate for submission.
Research involving geotechnical analysis of rock formations, slope stability studies, and engineering geology related to mining infrastructure is also suitable.
Investigations exploring subsurface geological structures and geological hazards affecting mining operations are also encouraged.
Interdisciplinary Earth Science Research
The journal encourages interdisciplinary studies connecting geology with environmental science, geophysics, geochemistry, and resource management. Research combining field studies, laboratory analysis, and computational modelling of geological systems is appropriate for publication.
Studies examining earth resource sustainability, climate-related geological processes, and the role of geology in environmental management are also welcomed.
Article Types
Journal of Geology & Mining publishes original research articles, review papers, geological surveys, technical reports, case studies, short communications, perspectives, and conference proceedings related to geological science and mining research.
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts presenting field investigations, laboratory analyses, engineering studies, or theoretical research that contribute to advances in geological knowledge and mining technologies.
