Researcher Julian Hunt, the main author of the study, said: When the mine closes, thousands of workers lose their livelihood, which negatively affects the economic income of families dependent on the work of the mines, but the new technology provides the laid-off workers with new jobs following the mine stops working.
He added: The abandoned mines are characterized by the availability of the necessary infrastructure and their connection to the energy network, which reduces the costs of technology and operation, according to the TechExplore website.
