Abstract Increasingly high uncertainty, complexity and variability of the mineral mining sector performance necessitates integration of digital technologies to improve business. Coal mines use DT much more less than the oil and gas industry. It seems a promising way to make use of the experience gained in the oil and gas industry to advance the Digital Field concept and Industry 4.0 as a basis for the sustainable tactical and strategic operation of business in coal mining. Digitalization of mineral resources and mineral reserves, geotechnologies and control provides a real-time picture of production and marketing. Furthermore, efficiency of coal exploration, mining, dressing and consumption is increased. It is expedient to use 3D modeling in evaluation of coal reserves, qualities and occurrence conditions to adapt mines to better and rival scenarios of development of structurally complex coal fields.
