Strategic issues of bringing the domestic mining industry to a competitive global level are outlined. The ways of solving this problem on the example of blasting by radical improvement of explosives and explosive materials, creation of domestic drilling equipment of world level, as well as training of highly qualified engineers and workers for mining.
The limited financial capabilities of the mining machine-building industry require identifying the most important priority areas, the solution of which will make it possible to achieve technical progress in improving the productivity of drilling equipment and machinery, creating new explosives and technologies for their use, producing new means of initiation, significantly increasing the effectiveness of blasting preparation of rock for excavation and processing.
