ABSTRACT
Extraction of mineral resources in a sustainable framework is vital for the welfare of human beings. The mining industry has ever been perceived negatively due to its impacts on land, water, and air at local, regional, and global levels. Minimizing the footprint of mining activities and the shift of current mining practices to a sustainable mining are key drivers towards mine environment monitoring. In this sense, remote sensing plays a significant role in mine monitoring to sustain safe and effective operations and mitigate the risks associated with them.
