The paper gives the grounds to environmental strategy of mining industry. It involves increasing of production efficiency and mineral processing at anthropogenic load reduction on natural environment due to the following factors: reserves growth and decrease of average overburden ratio; improvement of integrated development and full recovery of commercial components; reduction of production wastes; reuse of mining and mineral processing wastes, stockpiled waste reduction; diminishing of waste water volumes charged into natural water basins; remediation of industrially damaged objects of environment. In order to the strategy implementation, new reagents and reagent regimes were developed together with advanced technologies and equipment (case study of Kola Mining Industry Complex).
