Abstract
This paper presents geological characteristic of the deposit Kotezi of the Bugojno coal basin. Regional geological researches were conducted from 1983 to 1987, and detailed from 2014 to the end of 2018. After field research and laboratory tests, the analysis and interpretation of the obtained results was carried out. Based on the determined borders of surface distribution and the research results of the coal deposit Kotezi, proved are four coal layers: II bottom, I bottom, main and roof. Coal of the deposit Kotezi belong to the younger coals, soft to medium hard, no luster (matt), brown to black colored, and have brown streak. Their fracture is plate-like and particleboard. He do not have a distinct lignite structure, except in the lower layers. With their general habitus, they resemble younger brown coals, and belong to humic coals which are relatively low in carbonation. Coal deposit Kotezi is the most important deposit in the Bugojno basin, which is very important due to continuity of coal exploitation. Considering the raw material potential and the possibility of expanding the existing raw material base, the Bugojno coal basin has particular importance for the long-term development of lignite exploitation and its use for thermal energy purposes. Key words: the Bugojno coal basin, Kotezi, coal layers, raw material potential.
