Abstract: The article presents an analysis of human-centric technologies of Industry 5.0, which, subject to integration with geotechnology (open and underground), allows to bring mining industries to a new stage of development – ​​Mining 5.0. As a technological platform for the development of the mineral resource complex, Mining 5.0 is capable of becoming an alternative to the concept of a carbon-free economy – a condition for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to providing cheap and accessible energy and combating climate change. The characteristic digital human-centric technologies of Mining 5.0 are highlighted, the diffusion of which in the mineral resources sector is capable of radically increasing productivity and reducing the burden on the environment - the Internet of Everything, digital tees, generative artificial intelligence, machine vision and learning, "smart" enterprises, etc. The feasibility of their implementation is justified by the high risks of the Fourth Energy Transition, in which reliance on renewable energy sources contradicts the achievements of sustainable development goals and threatens large-scale energy crises in developing countries. The conditions for the development of Mining 5.0 are defined – the transition from the automation of mining equipment to collaborative robotic systems, from "smart" sensors and equipment to "smart" enterprises, from the digitalization of individual processes to the "cloud" organization of mining production, from reclamation to post-mining. It has been established that the transition of the mining industry to the level of technological development Mining 5.0 with the characteristic human-centricity of digital technologies complementing traditional geotechnology has made it possible to identify the multifaceted nature of this process associated with the need to integrate the achievement of sustainable development goals and growth in labor productivity, improving its safety and increasing the level of digital competencies of workers.

Key words: Mining 50 geotechnology Industry 50 post-mining cyber systems Sustainable Development Carbon-Free Economy
