Abstract

The contribution of the mining industry to the economy of Ukraine and the current state of coal mining are analyzed on the basis of statistical data on balance sheet reserves of black coal by grade. The indicators of balance reserves and quality characteristics of lignite and associated minerals (coal clays) of the Dnipro Basin are specified. Prospects for the resumption of production are presented and a preliminary economic assessment of the attractiveness of the lignite application is made. The lignite reserves are partially recalculated taking into account the extraction of coal clays to increase the capacity of the country’s fuel and energy sector. The prospects for compiling a catalog of lignite raw materials are determined, taking into account the mining and geological conditions of occurrence and the quality characteristics of the mineral. The scientific novelty of the research is to catalog the deposits of the Dnipro Basin and rank them with a preliminary technical and economic assessment of lignite production. The practical significance is to create a ready catalog of lignite raw materials that will allow a potential investor to implement his or her economically viable project for the development of the deposit.
