PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide an apparatus for efficiently mining seabed resources found on a seabed surface layer and in sediment accumulated thereon. SOLUTION : A seabed resources mining system is for mining underground resources (methane hydrate, cobalt, rare metals, etc.) found in a seabed surface layer and in sediment accumulated thereon, and includes : a self-traveling mining apparatus with a mining machine, a crusher and an air pressure feeder; a stage on which the air pressure feeder is installed to transfer crushed substances sent out from the self-traveling mining apparatus to a seabed resource recovery ship on the sea; a horizontal transfer tube capable of controlling rectilinear force and circular force while transferring the crushed substances from the self-traveling mining apparatus to the stage; and a vertical transfer tube capable of controlling rectilinear force and circular force while transferring the crushed substances from the stage to the seabed resource recovery ship.
