The aim of this paper is to develop and validate methods of choosing the means of valuable mineral deposits. This paper describes a methodology for assessing deposits from both an economic and an environmental point of view. The questions of creation of modern mathematical support, as well as the means of decision making for the feasibility study of Ukrainian deposits with valuable minerals and determination of the optimal strategy for their development are considered. A new way of developing environmental scenarios for territorial development is proposed, which is to optimize network models that are consistent with environmental strategies for mineral exploration with a view to producing the final products. Unlike economic scenarios, the development of the field of environmental requirements takes into account the rating of man-made environmental hazards at each stage, which allows not only the benefit but also the risks of production. An algorithmic description of the process of managing the state of reserves and the form of presentation of the results make it possible to introduce the described methods into production, at the same time the field is considered not as a separate object, but as an intermediate element in the process of obtaining final products. In addition, the sequence of finding the optimal solution can be considered as from the beginning of development of the field to the stage of obtaining the final products, and in the opposite direction. The field of optimal design technology for the rational development of fields is independent of the type of minerals, since the determination of the optimal scenario of production of final products for a particular field is due to the model of changing the state of mineral reserves from balance sheet to final products, which after the transformation of acyclic graphs in the network can be optimized using classic algorithms.
