Theoretical substantiation of possibilities and prospects of using the principles of shaped charges operation for technological destruction of rocks during subsoil development is given.

As is known, the external indicators of the development of mineral deposits (geology, requirements for the final technological indicators, etc.) are constantly becoming more complex. At the same time, in the modern mining practice the most important role is played by the processes of destruction as the basis of mining, and the main means at the head of all geotechnologies of solid minerals extraction is the explosive energy. It has a price and its intrinsic controllability.
