This research's problem statement centers on balancing economic development with environmental protection and social well-being. As mineral resources represent a crucial driver of economic growth in these regions, examining how their exploitation impacts economic indicators and the broader dimensions of sustainability and equity is imperative.
The relevant system boundaries of mining-operations-focused frameworks and mineral life-cycle-focused frameworks can be seen in Fig. 2. While the life-cycle-focused framework includes the entirety of a mineral's life through end of life and then re-entering the circular economy through recycling or reuse, the mining-operations-focused ...
