A new Digital Mine platform will be implemented at Russian mining enterprises by the government, in collaboration with the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), as per executive order issued by president Vladimir Putin.
Proposals regarding this initiative are to be prepared by December 1, 2026.
Potential participants in the project include Nornickel, Polyus, ALROSA, Metalloinvest, and the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. The government and the ASI are tasked with examining ways to support the deployment of the platform at these companies' production facilities.
The Digital Mine project has been included in a list of domestic technological developments for which the authorities will assess the industrial-scale implementation potential.
Prime minister Mikhail Mishustin and ASI CEO Svetlana Chupsheva have been appointed as the officials responsible for this task, according to online portal Dprom.
