The large-scale researches of the reserves of coal which are available in the south of Kuzbass were conducted in 1960s-1970s. The large open-casts were developed and others were out of touch because of their unprofitability. The large-scale operation "Coal" yielded results at once. The illegal open-casts were being liquidated nearly every week, there were dozens of them. Kemerovo Oblast is a leading coal region of the Russian Federation, possessing about 60% of this mineral here. There are 42 mines and 51 open-casts and 54 coal-concentrating factories and facilities in the region. The Novokuznetsk area located in the south of Kuzbass is one of the largest centers of coal mining in the region. Its illegal production causes the significant damage to the state.
