High-altitude mountain areas severely restrict the development of the local mining economy due to complex topographic and geological conditions, fragile ecological environments, and weak traditional transportation infrastructure. To study transportation schemes for high-altitude mountain mines, the raw ore transportation of Motuo stone pots in Xizang was taken as the research object. Given its characteristics of high added value and susceptibility to breakage, three ore transportation schemes, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) transportation, simple cableway transportation, and belt conveyor transportation, were compared and analyzed from four dimensions: technical feasibility, economy, safety, and environmental adaptability. The research results indicate that in the specific scenario of high-altitude mountain mine transportation, UAV transportation achieves point-to-point transportation by virtue of its excellent terrain adaptability, high timeliness, low cargo breakage rate, and low environmental disturbance. Due to the limited production capacity of the raw ore for Motuo stone pots, the UAV transportation scheme is superior to the simple cableway and belt conveyor transportation schemes in terms of initial infrastructure investment and unit transportation cost, demonstrating significant comprehensive advantages and making it a preferable solution for transporting the raw materials of Motuo stone pots out of Xizang. However, UAV transportation is notably affected by airspace restrictions and meteorological conditions. The airspace application cycle is long and management is strict, while the complex meteorological conditions in the region necessitate strict adherence to flight safety regulations.
