Our economy needs to collect raw materials (RMs) from mining activities and this produces an impressive amount of mining wastes and a number of environmental problems associated with the disposal of them. Nowadays, the advances of the innovative technologies and markets make mining waste sources of valuable minerals/elements, but, in order to exploit them, it is necessary to know accurate information and to develop smart strategies of management and planning. In this framework, we tested an integrated multidisciplinary approach for sustainable management and optimization of mining wastes. We sampled iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) wastes produced in Joda West Mine (State of Odisha-India).
