International Journal of Mining Engineering and Mineral Processing

International Journal of Mining Engineering and Mineral Processing is concerned with original research, new developments, site measurements and case studies in rock mechanics and rock engineering. It provides an international forum for the publication of high quality papers on the subject of rock mechanics and the application of rock mechanics principles and techniques to mining and civil engineering projects built on or in rock masses.
