Abstract

The paper discusses the studies devoted to evolution of prospective mining technologies for deep thick strata of the Talnakhsky and Oktyabrsky deposits. The mining-and-technical features of the deposits are considered. A strategic trend is pinpointed towards technological upgrading with automation and robotization of geotechnological processes. The authors prove practicability of concurrent mining of massive sulphide and impregnated ores. The generalized models of mining enterprises are examined, and a concept of a mine of tomorrow is set forth as a system of scientific ideas, principles and priorities.
