Abstract: The government science and technology award is one of the important indicators to evaluate the development level of science and technology.Based on the 2009-2019 Anhui Science and Technology Award in the mining field as a data source，statistics and analysis of the wining characteristics is done.The results show that the progress of mining technology is closely related to the development of the industry and has a lagging effect. Enterprises are the main body of scientific research and innovation in the mining industry，and the innovation capabilities of universities and scientific research institutions have been continuously strengthened.The scientific research innovations in all directions in the mining field of Anhui Province in recent ten years are summarized and analyzed.It is concluded that outstanding achievements have been made in mining and mine safety，especially in deep resource exploitation and prevention of gas and water disasters. It has developed rapidly in the direction of mine environmental protection and restoration，and achieved remarkable results in ecological damage assessment，water environment management and land restoration and utilization in subsidence areas. By summarizing the scientific and technological progress in the mining field，it is believed that there are still many problems in its development process，such as the low level of automation in the development of mineral resources，the application of modern safety monitoring technology needs to be strengthened.The low resource recovery rate，the recovery capacity of abandoned mines needs to be improved.The coordinated development of resources and the environment is facing challenge. At the same time，it is pointed out that the main innovation directions in the future mining field areless humanization，involving production， operation，and decision-making whole system of smart mine construction research.For deep resources，low-grade resources and associated resources，beneficiation and mining，research on smelting technology，improve the level of development and utilization of mineral resources. Carry out research on mine environmental damage prevention and environmental restoration for the entire life cycle of mines，and achieve mine loss reduction and non-destructive mining. Strengthen the research of the development and utilization of the closed mine resources and space，so to achieve the sustainable development and utilization of closed mine resources and space. The above analysis results can provide important data support and reference for policy making and decision-making in the mining industry and future scientific research directions in the mining field.

Key words: mining industry, Anhui science and technology award, smart mine, resources utilization and utilization, mine environment
