Published by Sage from 2024. Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy is devoted to scientific, engineering, and economic aspects of the preparation, separation, extraction, and purification of ores, metals, and mineral products by both physical and chemical methods. Contributions on plant operation and techniques are encouraged, especially those bringing together scientific understanding of a process with its engineering and economic implications to generate conclusions of practical benefit. The journal also covers laboratory development of new processes and discussions of the industrial significance of laboratory scale investigations. The application of mineral processing and extractive metallurgical principles to the processing of wastes and the recycling of materials is also of interest.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
