The article analyses the classification of upland deposits studied by leading scientists of the world. About half of all mineral deposits developed now and planned for development in the future are located in mountainous terrain. The most difficult technological situation arises in the case of open-pit mining, where the entire open-pit fields are located on a steep slope. Meanwhile, an increasing number of such deposits are planned to be developed by open-pit mining. Classification of upland deposits was proposed by D.S. Dzhaimagambetov, V.V. Rzhevskiy and S.A. Rzhevskiy. Rzhevsky and S.A. Ilyin. In classifications all deposits are divided by type of deposit, classification features are: location of the deposit in relation to the dominant level of the earth surface and the top of the mountain, thickness of the deposit, angle of its inclination to the horizon and, finally, the degree of consistency of the location of the deposit with the relief of the slope (according to, not according to).
