The Canadian mining and mineral processing industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in North America, employing about 380,000 people. There have been huge investments in this sector and over $160 billion dollars’ worth of new mining investments are expected to take off over the next decade. With intense global competition in mining investments, mining projects are continuously being reviewed against environmental and social sustainability aside profitability. It is therefore imperative that continuous research to push the limits of profitable sustainable technologies by innovation remains at the forefront of research in this sector. The proposed research focuses on the applications of operations research methods in the sustainable development of natural resources.

加拿大采矿和矿物加工业是北美增长最快的行业之一，雇用约38万人。在这一领域已经有了巨大的投资，预计未来十年将有价值超过1600亿美元的新采矿投资。随着采矿投资的全球竞争激烈，采矿项目除了盈利能力外，还不断根据环境和社会可持续性进行审查。因此，必须继续研究，通过创新来推动可盈利的可持续技术的极限，这仍然是该领域研究的最前沿。该研究的重点是运筹学方法在自然资源可持续发展中的应用。
