Mining is an essential sector for economic development, as it provides valuable resources that are crucial for modern living. However, the mining industry has significant impacts on the environment, including land degradation, water pollution, and air emissions. The mining industry should therefore embrace sustainability to ensure that mining activities are environmentally, socially, and economically responsible. The Sustainable Mining collection by MDPI provides a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities facing the mining industry in its journey towards sustainability. The collection includes articles from different fields, including engineering, social sciences, and environmental science, providing a multidisciplinary approach to the topic. One of the critical themes in the collection is the need for effective environmental management practices in mining. Mining activities have significant impacts on the environment, including the destruction of habitats and the contamination of water bodies. The collection includes articles that discuss innovative solutions, such as the use of green technologies, and the best practices that minimize the environmental impact of mining activities. [PERSON] et al. [1] examined the environmental impact of mining activities in the Monchep-luton massif in NE Scandinavia, which is mainly composed of ultramafic and alkaline rocks with mineralization of oxide and sulfide ores. The study found that the area is currently at risk of ecological disaster due to metallurgical plants, acid rain, soil pollution, and uncontrolled mine water outflows. The authors proposed rehabilitation strategies that may be costly and lengthy due to the specific climatic conditions and vegetation in the area. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [2] investigated the environmental impact of the Zn-Pb heap in Ruda Slaska, which is eroding, contributing to the spread of pollutants. The authors used microscopic observations and geochemical analyses to show that the components of the heap are mobile due to the infiltration of meteoric waters, leading to soil and plant contamination. The authors proposed solutions for the reclamation of the heap, including covering it with an isolation layer or moving it to a protected place away from the city center. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [3] investigated the effects of dry beach slopes on the sedimentary characteristics of tailings in upstream tailing dams and the effects of internal erosion on the physical and mechanical properties of sedimentary tailings under unsteady seepage. The results showed that a dry beach with a larger slope has more obvious stratification of tailings and that internal erosion caused by heavy rainfall increases the permeability and reduces the shear strength of tailings. The authors also showed that after internal erosion of tailings under heavy rainfall, the average particle size increases, the hydraulic conductivity increases, and the shear strength decreases for downstream, midstream, and upstream tailings. [PERSON] et al. [4] investigated the impact of high energy mining-induced tremors on building damage in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB), Poland, by analyzing one of the highest energy tremors (E = 4.0 \(\times\) 10\({}^{8}\) J). The seismic energy propagation from the hypocenter of mining-induced tremors caused an uneven distribution in the peak ground velocity (PGVHmax) in tectonically complicated structures, and consequently an uneven distribution of damage to buildings located on the ground surface. The directionality of seismic energy propagation is aligned with the focal mechanism acting in the Barbara fault,and it has been concluded that a zone with a width of up to about 1200 m along the Barbara fault is the most threatening on the basis of registered building damage in the geological conditions of the USCB. The collection also highlights the importance of sustainable mining practices that promote social responsibility. Mining activities can significantly impact local communities by disrupting their livelihoods and cultural heritage.
