Abstract: China′s metal mine intelligence is stepping into a new stage of promotion and regular application after the preliminary experimental research. Both of the construction progresses and application effects are summarized from two representative scenarios,namely intelligent operation and integrated platform,which can contribute to evaluate the achievement systematically,and promote the experience successfully as well. It is concluded that China′s metal mines have made significant improvements in the field of intelligent mining. Projects such as remote-controlled shovelling and transporting in open-pit mines,automation of motor vehicles in underground mines,along with unmanned guarding of stationary facilities,have applied routinely. Furthermore,the most distinctive features are the platforms which integrated multi-application systems,shown in the fact that the technology platform,safety platform,centralised control platform and decision-making platform,have played roles for the production control in several mines. Finally,in response to the current situation,several issues for the metal mine intelligence, including content selection,key technologies. path of digital transformation,upgrade of management,attention to maintenance effectiveness,are discussed to specify some misunderstandings,which can provide reference for metal mines to expand achievements,ensure effectiveness and reduce project risks.
