Sustainable mining has emerged as a strategic framework aimed at balancing economic benefits with environmental protection and social responsibility. This study presents a comprehensive review of sustainable mining practices with particular emphasis on environmental impacts, mine tailings management strategies, acid mine drainage mitigation, and innovative technologies such as cemented paste backfill (CPB). In addition, the role of circular economy approaches, digital mining technologies, and mine closure strategies in improving sustainability performance is discussed. The findings indicate that integrating advanced tailings management strategies and technological innovations can significantly reduce environmental risks and enhance the long-term sustainability of mining operations.Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH2026Review Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/13441https://doi.org/10.1007/s42461-026-01719-52524-3462enMining, Metallurgy and Explorationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/reviewhttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/13441
