“…Those reports, as both groups of authors discuss, still need more maturation in form and regulation, so they can be compared and provide more reliable data. Worrall et al (2009) develop a sustainable criteria and indicators framework for the legacy mine land by summarizing an extensive scheme that mentions environmental, social and economic indicators that lead to a better way of dealing with legacy mine land. They embrace almost all the SDGs topics, but lack on gender and education concerns.…”

193 United Nations members are signatories of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Even though it does not make it legally binding to the country members, the SDGs establishment incites national and managerial frameworks to achieve the SDGs. The mining industry inserts itself in this context by its global presence and frequent location within ecologically sensitive and less developed areas. This paper aims to consolidate the state of academic research on mining, sustainability and sustainable development, by organizing the results of previous studies within a systematic review on the SDGs set. To do so, the ISI Web of Science TM Core Collection database was chosen as a database of record, as it is one of the most widespread databases of academic journals. We have used all years available in the ISI database, from 1945 to 2016 (for complete years). The systematic review process comprised of five steps: (i) to search terms [("sustainability" or "sustainable development") and mining] on the database and to apply filters of criteria; (ii) organizing papers; (iii) metrics and relations between papers and authors; (iv) classification of the results through content analysis techniques; and (v) synthesis. The results were divided in two groups: the highly cited and the most recent papers, to include papers that have academic impact and those which show the newest contributions to the field. The results showed that, in spite of a growing amount of publications in the past years that relates to mining and sustainability, the main focus of these publications are still on the environmental dimensions of the UN goals. This suggests that more practical and academic work in the mining sector are required to fill in the blank spaces regarding the other set of goals that compose the SDGs framework.

“…Similar restrictions apply to the use of signal apparatuses in underground mines in the Mines, Quarries, Works and Machinery Regulations of Botswana [59]. Although some restrictions are in place on the use of electronic devices in underground mines, the global mining community still thinks that the industry can benefit from technological advances in terms of efficiency and management [60][61][62][63][64].…”

This paper reviews current trends in wearable device technology, and provides an overview of its prevalent and potential deployments in the mining industry. This review includes the classification of wearable devices with some examples of their utilization in various industrial fields as well as the features of sensors used in wearable devices. Existing applications of wearable device technology to the mining industry are reviewed. In addition, a wearable safety management system for miners and other possible applications are proposed. The findings of this review show that by introducing wearable device technology to mining sites, the safety of mining operations can be enhanced. Therefore, wearable devices should be further used in the mining industry.

“…O maior avanço foi a inclusão da contribuição econômica para a economia e as comunidades locais (WORRALL et al, 2009). Isso tornou as informações fornecidas pelos indicadores econômicos associados à categoria de comunidades locais mais transparentes e compatíveis com os indicadores ambientais e sociais propostos.…”

A indústria mineral tem compromissos permanentes e inadiáveis com a sustentabilidade. O setor representa um rico campo de análise sobre o encontro entre as racionalidades econômica e ambiental. Justamente pela magnitude das escalas em que as mineradoras atuam e de seus impactos socioambientais, e por operarem sob pesadas pressões que incidem no mercado global de commodities, importa compreender essa evolução recente no setor. Em paralelo, é imperativo construir indicadores para monitorar a sustentabilidade em regiões que abrigam grandes minas. Este artigo discute os
