CURRENT STATE OF THE RESOURCE BASE OF COAL MINING INDUSTRY IN KUZBASS

Analysis of the grade composition of the mineral resource base of the distributed and undistributed subsoil Fund as of 01.01.2018 showed a decrease in reserves of coal intended for open pit mining. In the future, the production of a number of technological grades of coal (gas fat (GZh), fat (Zh), coking fat (KZh), coking (K), coking caking low-metamorphized (KCN), coking caking (KC), lean caking (OC), low caking (CC) is possible only by underground method. The expansion of the raw material base of the Kuzbass coal industry and the support of coal production volumes, primarily by the technological of grades coking fat (KZh), coking (K), coking caking (KC), lean caking (OC), low caking (CC) involves exploration, the use of unconventional production technologies and tax preferences for coal mining enterprise
