Introduction. Sustainable mining is an objective as well as a tool for balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations within the framework of mining projects. Each of these three dimensions of mining do not exist in isolation and they form the basis of sustainable development in the mining projects matrix.
Planning is. considered as the "ability to take proactive decision-. making where the risks and uncertainties of the future are minimised and a course of action or programme takes form that facilitates the wise allocation of important and potentially scarce. resources" (Lein, 2008). Planning will reveal.

Granite quarries' geological characteristics, operational processes, and environmental factors vary considerably. This diversity makes it difficult to develop universally applicable dust control solutions and address each quarry's unique challenges.
As the mining industry endeavours to balance resource extraction and environmental sustainability, effectively controlling airborne dust emissions in granite quarries remains difficult . Whilst substantial development has been made in understanding and implementing dust control measures, several obstacles remain [ 140, 143].
