Abstract: The article investigates the main aspects and approaches to the definition of sustainable using of mineral resources. Sustainable using of mineral resources - a process to ensure effective use of subsoil for mining, or other tasks provided by the law, in a balanced interaction between the state, business and society with environmental safety based on the reinvestment of revenues from the extraction of mineral resources into other forms of capital.
