# Review of Transition from Mining 4.0 to Mining 5.0 Innovative Technologies
## 5 Conclusions and Prospects  
This review examined a group of research in the development of mining technologies up to the level of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 (Mining 4.0 and 5.0, respectively). It was found that their technological platforms (Mining 4.0 and 5.0) integrate end-to-end digital technologies that are changing both mining and energy sectors and carry unprecedented opportunities to increase labor productivity and safety, reduce environmental damage in mining clusters and restoration of biodiversity, flexible management of enterprises, depending on the situation in the commodity markets. The very process of transition from Mining 3.0 to 4.0 is mediated by such processes as digitalization and the introduction of cyber-physical systems into traditional geotechnology (surface and underground), as well as into the management of mining enterprises. The prerequisite for such a transition is the stabilization of the mining of minerals in the conditions of fluctuations in raw materials markets, the widespread introduction of lean production, and the expansion of renewable energy. Today, we can see transitional technologies such as \"assistants\" of operators and engineers with artificial intelligence, portable wearable smart sensors, machine vision and learning on separate equipment, etc. In turn, the expected transition from Mining 4.0 to 5.0 is due to the predicted dominance of the circular economy and renewable energy, as well as the emergence of a human-centric industry. Therefore, the processes accompanying the transition to Mining 5.0 include the widespread replacement of humans with collaborative robots, the artificial intellectualization of mining enterprises management in integrated systems of minerals extraction and processing, the introduction of biochemical technologies for the extraction and restoration of biodiversity, the final transition to ESG and green investments. Transitional technologies of \"Mining of the Future\" (5.0) are being laid today and include the virtual design of reclamation and the use of neural networks to assess its capabilities, biochemical extraction of substandard ore deposits and underground coal gasification, and lean production (saving resources by mining companies). The very process of transition from Mining 3.0 to 4.0 and further to 5.0 takes the form of the coexistence of new and old technologies with the gradual displacement of the latter; their overlap and intersection (transitional forms) are quite rare. The issue of the transition from Mining 3.0 to 4.0 is being discussed in light of industry 4.0 expansion (artificial intelligence and neural networks, Internet of Things and smart sensors, drones and autonomous robots, digital twins, blockchain, big data, machine learning, and 3D visualization). Researchers are interested in the practice of using virtual gaming reality to train mining engineers, the Internet of Things ecosystem for the development of unmanned processes, and in the future--unmanned mines. In turn, the transition from Mining 4.0 to 5.0 is considered by authors exploring the creation and application of the Internet of Everything and collaborative robots, recycling of natural and mineral resources, postmining and restoration of biodiversity, and convergence of geotechnology and microbiology for bioextraction of minerals. Already today, the use of break-through digital technologies is widespread for planning the revitalization of resource clusters. A specific transitional platform from Mining 4.0 to 5.0 is seen by some authors as green mining, the information architecture of which should correspond to the Digital 3.0 level, and the financial basis should be formed by green and ESG investments.
