Problems of Open Coal Mining in Russia

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The problems arisen in open coal mining by the early 1990s are considered. The structure of productive capacity arrangement, relations between the reserves and the intensity of their mining, quality of produced coals, as well as resource-intensity and replacement of technological machine stock are studied.
