“…Clarification of the above principles, their addition and subsequent ranking by importance for each of the development objects is planned to be performed using various foresight methods [24] (Delphi [25], scenario building, SWOT analysis, road maps), including taking into account possible options for the future development of Yakutia.…”

Increasing the efficiency of developing deposits of solid minerals in the polar zone of the northeast of Russia is an objective necessity. Unlike traditional territories, the peculiarities of the region predetermine the use of new approaches and methods in studying the feasibility of developing various deposits, including the widely represented relatively small deposits. Compared to large ones, medium and small mining enterprises operating or created on their basis have fewer opportunities to protect their interests. Their design and actual technical and economic indicators are generally worse than those of more powerful economic entities. The decrease in the scale effect can be achieved in various ways. Reduction of risks in the implementation of investment projects is possible through more thorough study and subsequent additional training, as a rule, complex in structure and heterogeneous in quality deposits involved in operation. A set of basic and private principles of different levels and values has been formed, which should guide small and medium-sized enterprises in the planning, design and development of deposits in the polar zone of Russia. Its use in the preparation and decisionmaking allows at least partially to reduce the impact of complicating and costly production factors.

In the last years, industrial company began to understand the central role that plays sustainable supplier selection (SSS) process for obtaining a sustainable supply chain (SSC). This paper proposes a new multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) model for managers, which makes it possible to select the best suppliers who respect the sustainable development (SD) concept for a SSC. We start our paper by selecting the most recent economic, environmental and social criterion used in researches. After, we develop a new model mathematic that take into consideration the SD criteria in sustainable supplier rank and selection. Finally, we present a case study for testing our model.

“…Recently, some SD principles specific for the mineral exploration phase [85] were formulated, which consider social, economic, environmental, governance and technological ("responsible use of technologies") aspects. Technological innovation is also highlighted as a priority question in this approach, although it is only analyzed to a limited extent.…”

“…A recent trend has been identified to give more attention to the efficient management of energy, water and wastes in the mining operations [7,45,85], which may be associated to the fact that these impacts may become even more critical from the standpoint of sustainability owing to the progressive decline in average run-of-mine ore grades [45]. This is, indeed, a global reality rather than a theoretical and local concern, at least according to what mining companies report [95].…”

Sustainability science has received progressively greater attention worldwide, given the growing environmental concerns and socioeconomic inequity, both largely resulting from a prevailing global economic model that has prioritized profits. It is now widely recognized that mankind needs to adopt measures to change the currently unsustainable production and consumption patterns. The minerals industry plays a fundamental role in this context, having received attention through various initiatives over the last decades. Several of these have been, however, questioned in practice. Indeed, a consensus on the implications of sustainability in the minerals industry has not yet been reached. The present work aims to deepen the discussion on how the mineral sector can improve its sustainability. An exhaustive literature review of peer-reviewed academic articles published on the topic in English over the last 25 years, as well as complementary references, has been carried out. From this, it became clear that there is a need to build a better definition of sustainability for the mineral sector, which has been proposed here from a more holistic viewpoint. Finally, and in light of this new perspective, several of the trade-offs and synergies related to sustainability of the minerals industry are discussed in a cross-sectional manner.
