The mining industry operates in a complex and dynamic environment and faces many challenges that can negatively affect sustainable development goals. To avoid these effects, mining needs to adopt strategic decisions. Therefore, it requires effective decision-making processes for resource optimization, operational efficiency, and sustainability. Multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) have been considered valuable decision-support tools in the mining industry. This article comprehensively examines MCDM methods and their applications in the mining industry. This article discusses the basic principles and concepts of MCDM methods, including the ability to prioritize and weigh conflicting, multiple criteria and support decision-makers in evaluating diverse options. According to the results, 1579 MCDM articles in mining have been published from the beginning to April 15, 2023, and a scientometric analysis was done on these articles. In another part of this article, 19 MCDM methods, among the most important MCDM methods in this field, have been examined. The process of doing work in 17 cases of the reviewed methods is presented visually. Overall, this paper is a valuable resource for researchers, mining industry professionals, policymakers, and decision-makers that can lead to a deeper understanding of the application of MCDM methods in mining. By facilitating informed decision-making processes, MCDM methods can potentially increase operational efficiency, resource optimization, and sustainable development in various mining sectors, ultimately contributing to mining projects' long-term success and sustainability.

The GIS-multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques are increasingly used in landslide susceptibility mapping for predicting the future hazards, land use planning, and hazard preparedness. Identification of landslide susceptible regions helps in making a strategic plan for future developmental activities in the landslide-prone areas. It enables the integration of different data layers with varying levels of uncertainty. In this work, GIS-MCDA is applied to landslide hazard zonation for the Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh, India. The current work aims to evaluate the performance of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for the development of a landslide hazard map. The geographical information system is used for the preparation of the database, analysis, modelling, and results. The ArcGIS 10.0 software is used to integrate the input layers by assigning appropriate weights. Six landslide causal factors are used, whereby the parameters are extracted from an associated spatial database. These factors are evaluated, and then the respective factor weight and class weight are assigned to each one of the associated factors. The developed landslide hazard map is categorized into three risk zones. The current work may be of great assistance to regional planners and decision-makers in deciding on the most suitable risk mitigation measures at the local level to prevent the potential losses and damages from landslides in the region.

An accurate modeling of sophisticated geological units has a substantial impact on designing a mine extraction plan. Geostatistical simulation approaches, via defining a variogram model or incorporating a training image (TI), can tackle the construction of various geological units when a sparse pattern of drilling is available. The variogram-based techniques (derived from two-point geostatistics) usually suffer from reproducing complex and non-linear geological units as dyke. However, multipoint geostatistics (MPS) resolves this issue by incorporating a training image from a prior geological information. This work deals with the multi-step Single Normal Equation Simulation (SNESIM) algorithm of dyke structures in the Sungun Porphyry-Cu system, NW Iran. In order to perform a multi-step SNESIM algorithm, the multi-criteria decision-making and MPS approaches are used in a combined form. To this end, two TIs are considered, one for simulating dyke structures in the shallow depth, and two for simulating dyke structures in a deeper depth. In the first step, a TI is produced using geological map, which has been mined out during the previous exploration operations. After producing TI, the 35 realizations are simulated for the shallow depth of deposit in the area under study. To select the best realization (as a TI for the next step) of the simulation results, several statistical criteria are used and the results obtained are compared. To this end, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making is designed on the basis of a group of statistical criteria. In the next step, the dyke structures in the deeper depth are also simulated by the new TI.
