Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

In the process of mining resource development and environmental protection, exploring the optimal ratio of production investment to ecological investment is essential for maximizing the comprehensive benefits of mines. To find the balance point between economic benefits and ecological benefits, the paper analyzes the key elements of comprehensive benefits in green mines and their role in balancing economic benefits and ecological benefits, and studies the relationships between comprehensive benefits, marginal benefits, and marginal costs in green mines versus traditional mines, and between small mines and large mines, revealing the economic decision-making principles for green mine and highlighting its stronger market competitiveness and profitability compared to traditional mines. Furthermore, this paper elaborates on the interaction mechanism between six balances and comprehensive benefits elements in green mine construction, proposing optimization strategies to maximize comprehensive benefits. Overall, this paper provides theoretical support and practical guidance for green mine construction, promoting the transformation of the mining industry towards a greener and more sustainable development model.
