[9] conducted a material flow analysis to update the current data on boron by establishing a system that shows the flow of boron material from extraction to the end use products. The results can help to develop strategies for boron production and sustainability. The global gold sector faces an imbalance in supply and demand due to increasing demand for industrial electrification and automation. To address this, research must focus on developing processing methods for complex and refractory ores, which are not amenable to standard cyanidation. Recent technological advancements, including sensor-based ore sorting, provide opportunities for refractory resources in proximity to the processing infrastructure within major gold districts. Discrete event simulation (DES) and integrated artificial neural network (ANN) frameworks can be used to model complex mining systems dealing with geological uncertainty and improve decision-making processes. [PERSON] et al. [10] present calculations based on a generated dataset for sediment-hosted refractory gold systems. Coking coal remains on the European list of critical raw materials due to its high economic importance and supply risks, despite narrowly missing the threshold of economic importance in 2017. As there are no significant alternatives to the energy-intensive steel industry, the European Union remains dependent on coking coal imports. The Debiersko coking coal project in Poland was analyzed using a scientifically proven methodology based on a world-class analysis of coking coal projects submitted for financing to financial institutions [11]. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) was developed to improve forest health in the Appalachian region through a five-step process that minimizes soil compaction and establishes a productive forest. [PERSON] et al. [12] attempt to provide a comparison of two reclamation methods: the FRA low compaction method used in the Appalachian region and the conventional scraper-pan (scraper) methods in the western Gulf Coastal Plain (GCP). The results suggest reclamation practices modeled after FRA methods may positively affect tree growth and survival in the Western Gulf. Finally, the collection highlights the need for technical innovation in the mining industry. The articles discuss the role of technology in promoting sustainable mining practices and the need for collaboration among mining companies, governments, and other stakeholders to achieve sustainable mining. [PERSON] et al. [13] aim to set strength parameters for the stability analysis of open-pit slopes with a developed slide process using the random set method. The four-stage methodology includes site investigations, sensitivity analyses, shear strength reduction analyses, and probability analyses of the factor of safety calculation results. The resultant factor of safety values revealed probable slide planes, and the positions of these planes enabled the design of a securing approach for landslides and the implementation of preventive measures to reduce this risk. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [14] discuss the implementation of multiple criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) in quarry mine design, which is not commonly used in Croatia's mining industry despite its extensive stone mining operations. The study applied the PROMETHE II and AHP decision making methods to select the best quarry design contour out of three final designs based on 22 different criteria parameters. The selected model was found to be financially viable and had the least environmental impact. The occurrence of rockburst is complex and difficult to predict, and it can cause damage to engineering equipment, can disrupt construction progress, and can endanger human lives. [PERSON] et al. [15] proposed the D-P-transformer algorithm to improve the embedding structure of transformers for specific applications on rockburst data. The proposed algorithm shows significant improvements in error reduction compared to the original algorithm and can be used for coal mine rockburst prediction analyses.
