Overview
"Mixed Reality Handbooks for Mining Engineers" is a newly designed textbook series that delves into the fascinating multifaceted world of mining. The aim of the editors Peter Moser, Susanne Feil and Carsten Drebenstedt is to provide students with state-of-the-art learning materials that help them to quickly understand all the relevant aspects that mining engineers need to know about.
The series uses an innovative pedagogical framework with a strong focus on enhancing digital skills as well as a transparent teaching and learning pathway. Each chapter is written by renowned authors in their respective fields who have gained extensive teaching experience at leading mining universities in the world. This textbook is a new reference book and an indispensable resource for students, educators, and professionals in the mining industry.
Content
The book is divided into two subject areas: Sustainability in mining and mine planningAfter reading the book students will be able to explain modern mining requirements in depth, critically appraise the fundamental terminology, concepts, principles and theories used in describing sustainability in mining, reflect on economic, environmental and social expectations regarding global sustainability-related trends and design, evaluate and expand their own learning process by using the provided digital learning contents.
In the second subject area students will learn the basics of the mine valuation process, they will understand official financial statements of mining businesses, be able to apply financial analysis as well as sensitivity data of mining projects. Students gain the tools needed to evaluate risks of mining operations, analyze elemental factors of production for mining companies as well as official standards for reserves and resources reporting.
Key Features
- Each book in the series sets out specific goals according to Bloom’s Taxonomy and provides a clear learning pathway.
- In every chapter there are several QR-Codes that lead students to additional learning materials (e.g. case studies, video resources and interactive tools).
- In addition, each book offers competence checks that help students to self-evaluate their comprehension of the material which they have completed.
- A significant edition offered via the MiReBooks platform for educators is an extensive guide called ‘new methods in mining education – mirebooks handbook’, which explains in depth the didactics, use and application of teaching 4.0 and will guide you through the characteristics of Mixed Reality technologies with practical input on how to take the first steps towards your own MR teaching concept.
Conclusion
The "Mixed Reality Handbooks for Mining Engineers" is an essential addition to the library of anyone involved in the mining industry. Whether you are a student seeking to understand the fundamentals, an educator looking for a reliable teaching textbook, or a professional aiming to stay up to date with industry advancements, this textbook provides the knowledge and insights needed to excel in the field.

The MiReBooks series integrates modern digital media, including Mixed Reality (VR and AR), into mining education, offering interactive content like 3D models, simulations, and 360° videos accessible anywhere. It aims to enhance knowledge transfer, transparency, and understanding of mining processes for students, professionals, and the public.
Initiated by Montanuniversität Leoben and funded by EIT Raw Materials (2017–2020), the project involved universities and industry partners across Europe. The series aligns with the EU’s Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027) addressing the need for digital skills in mining through innovative teaching methods.
The books combine technical knowledge with cutting-edge digital tools, following a pedagogical framework that supports knowledge, skills, and abilities. Topics include sustainability, economic geology, mining technologies, safety, and post-mining landscapes, aiming to set a new standard for mining education in Europe.
Peter Moser s professor at Montanuniversität Leoben as well as Rector of the institution since the autumn of 2023. He completed his MSc in Mining Engineering with a specialisation in Tunnelling in 1983, his PhD in Mining in 1989 and his habilitation in 1998. Visiting professorships have taken him to Paris and St. Petersburg. From 2008 until 2023 he held the Chair of Mining Engineering & Mineral Economics as a full university professor.
