Minerals such as copper, lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements are essential to achieving global Net Zero Emissions by 2050. To secure this future, the mineral supply chain must be reliable and resilient. The dissertation proposes a standardized framework to model resilience in the Mineral Supply Chain´s Upstream Segment (MiSC). It integrates mining-specific resilience constructs with a standardized business process model, enabling consistent end-to-end analysis and better integration with downstream supply chain stages. It also enhances decision support for risk and disruption management. The framework offers practitioners and researchers a starting point to design more transparent, sustainable, and resilient mineral supply chains.
