Abstract: The paper reviews strategic trends in mining and processing industries with account of the ongoing globalization processes in the world markets for end products, as well as the sanctioned components and increased technological competition. During the current period of subsurface use, these trends should ensure application of complex environmentally friendly coal technologies and innovative digital technology platforms linked to the concept of sustainable development. Despite the presence of a number of positive developments in the mining sector, the predominant role of innovations in the stated form remains very small and they are mainly aimed at maintaining a viable and competitive level of the operating margin. All of this is definitely related to certain negative aspects of using outdated technologies in the project activities. A topical issue is the development, transformation and adaptation of the design methodology of high-performance and highly profitable coal mining operations in the current macroeconomic conditions. The article discusses certain methodological aspects of designing innovative coal production clusters with a complete cycle of integrated development of coal deposits. It is stated that one of the relevant aspects in the theory of designing subsurface development as a fundamental branch of mining sciences is the development of methods for calculating the production capacity of multifunctional mining systems, determining the rational intensity of field development, rational schemes and methods of quality management of the main and auxiliary streams of coal-based production and processing, justification of the productive alternative non-traditional sources to enhance the technical and economic efficiency of coal mining enterprises, which, along with the main coal streams, are the basis for obtaining the necessary volume of marketable products. Digital technology platforms are claimed to be one of the fundamental components of improving the technical and economic efficiency of coal mining operations.
Keywords: mining engineering system, coal mine, multifunctional mining system, digitalization, integrated development of geo-resources, digital technologies, digital platforms
