The Earth sciences and subsoil use journal is established on the basis of the Interuniversity collected papers "Geology, prospecting and exploration of ore mineral deposits" that has been published by IPU (later, ISTU, and then, INRTU) since 1973. In 2004–2017, the journal had the title "Proceedings of the Siberian Department of the Section of Earth Sciences of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Geology, Prospecting and Exploration of Ore Deposits", and in 2017–2019, "Proceedings of the Siberian Department of the Section of Earth Sciences of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Geology, Exploration and Development of Mineral Deposits". Finally, in 2019, due to the involvement of a wide range of researchers dealing with extraction and processing of minerals, the journal took the title "Earth Sciences and Subsoil Use".
