Abstract: The paper analyzes the development trends in digital transformation of mining operations, which involves introduction of digital technologies into various business processes with mining companies. The main stages in transition to the new technological modes in mining of mineral deposits using intelligent systems and digital technologies are identified with due account for the specific features of the mining industry. The main ways of methodological support for the ESG rating of mining companies are proposed. It is shown that in the development of scientific and methodological foundations of sustainable development of mining operations it is important to justify the design principles for information technologies to work with Big Data to solve issues concerned with designing, operation, conservation and closure of mining operations..

Keywords: digital transformation, prerequisites, principles, mining operation, ESG rating
