Naturelike mining technologies: Prospect of resolving global contradictions when developing mineral resources of the lithosphere

Аннотация

The rapidly deepening environmental crisis, generated by antagonistic contradictions between limited biological and mineral resources of the Earth and the unlimited growth of needs of developing technocratic civilization, predetermines the necessity to seek ways of eliminating these contradictions in all spheres of human economic activity. The authors propose solutions to such problems in the sphere of mineral resources by changing the technological paradigm of their comprehensive exploration through creating and using a naturelike technology of developing deposits, which is methodologically based on homeostatic transformation of the principles of existence of biological systems into the functional structure of geotechnology.
