Kalabin The effectiveness of environmental modernization of enterprises for the development of mineral resources is analyzed using the principles of technological standardization based on the best available technologies (BAT). A direction is proposed for the creation of fundamentally new mining technologies related to the realization of the idea of transforming into the technosphere principles that ensure the cleanliness of the functioning of biological systems and creating environmentally acceptable mining technologies on their basis, the socalled naturelike mining technologies. A technique is proposed for differentiating mining enterprises by the degree of environmental hazard for decision makers on government regulation measures.
