In mining, there are many complex problems that need to be solved in a limited period of time. When solving these complex tasks, it is necessary to take into account many parameters, all in order to determine the optimal solution for a given problem. The application of multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) is very widely used to solve such complex problems. One of the most complex problems in mining is the underground mining method selection. In order to choose the most appropriate method of mining excavation, it is necessary to take into account a large number of influential parameters according to which we will compare mining methods. This paper will discuss the problem of underground mining method selection using the EDAS method. Also, a comparison of the obtained results will be made for a specific example, when applying several methods for multi-criteria decision-making. After comparing the obtained results, the most suitable mining method for a specific example will be determined.
