  • MINING ECOLOGY AND SUBSOIL MANAGEMENT
  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The features and trends of coal mining in the east of Russia are examined. The current and planned managerial decisions connected with coal production and supplies to competitive markets are analyzed. The coal products are ROM fuel, concentrate and middlings. The authors discuss approaches to effective mining and processing management within the chains of supplies, and to provision of the required quality of solid fuel produced and delivered to customers.
