Solving Problems in Ore Mining and Processing Using Information Technologies

Specificity of using information technologies to improve safety and efficiency of integrated mineral mining is described. The results of works on creation of information resources for keeping and processing of data on rare earth and rare metal raw materials are presented. The application of the integrated approach to mineral mining under environmental constraints is described in terms of the Partomchorr deposit located in the Russian region of the Arctic. Low-waste technologies are substantiated for ore mining, processing and piling, as well as for mine waste management. The most important avenues of research in the area of automation and robotization of mining are identified.
