Abstract: As the approach to mine production， intelligent mines have received wide spread attention in the mining industry on both domestic and international occasions.This paper compares and summarizes the objectives，concepts， practical experiences，key technologies and achievements of intelligent construction in metal underground mines both at home and abroad from two levels: macro-strategic guidance and mine construction practice.By analyzing the strategic orientation and industrial practices of intelligent mine in both sides，it is concluded that leading international mines follow the approach from mine automation to intelligence，while China's mines start from the intelligent strategy guided by the integrate IT application with industrialization and intelligent manufacturing，so that they go through the progressive process from digital mine to intelligent mine. The conclusion drawn from comparing the characteristics of intelligent mine construction at domestic and overseas shows that compared with mines abroad， China has advantages in technology accumulation， integration and innovation， speed of promotion， collaborative construction， and so on.Therefore，Supported by the rapid development of digital tecnique，5G technique and artificial intelligence，China's underground metal mines should develop the technical solutions and promotion methods that match its own resource conditions， technical level and personnel quality， by learning from the experience of foreign mines and giving full play to our own advantages. Finally， the trend of intelligent construction of underground metal mines in China is summarized， which should meet the requirements of green mines， combined with the extended application of deposit model， Intelligent-matched mining methods， and standardized data resources， to build more application scenarios facing 5G+ industrial Internet and virtual reality for production management and control， and to realize global optimization decisions with the help of big data.
