Povzetek Pri izkoriščanju mineralnih surovin nastajajo rudarski odpadni materiali, katerih pretežni del se zača-sno odlaga na odlagališčih/jaloviščih rudarskih odpadnih materialov, z velikim potencialom ponovne uporabe oz. recikliranja. Pri tem, kljub upoštevanju okoljevarstvene zakonodaje, v primeru recikliranja običajno prihaja do nasprotovanja l...

Mining has historically evolved from a basic extraction activity to a complex, strategic component of economic development and technological progress. Essential raw materials such as coal, copper, and uranium have driven advancements in various sectors, including industry and technology. Despite its economic benefits, mining poses significant envir...

Choosing the optimal location for building a new or renovating an existing mining warehouse is of great importance, especially when it comes to a company that has multiple mines in different locations and needs to build one main mining warehouse. Multi-criteria decision-making finds wide application in solving many problems in mining, such as selec...

1. ABSTRACT-Mineral exploitation has undeniably underpinned global social progress and development. The amelioration of living conditions is inconceivable without the sustainable utilization of minerals. Notably, industrial minerals wield a profound influence on societal advancement; for instance, the construction of a typical family residence nece...

Historically mining industry has supported economic development and social well-being worldwide. While economic impact can be measured by different examples, the indirect impact of the mining industry on social well-being is more complex and consequently hard to track and promote as well. This paper shall provide a case study, of Kosovo's coal mini...

The methodology used in this research is based on a literature review, lab analyses and IN-SITU investigation of the tailing dump. While, the chemical compounds i.e. heavy metals contents (Pb, Zn, Ag, Au etc.), water quality (AMD), air quality, erosion etc., were analyzed in the context of environmental negative impacts. On the other hand, the rela...

The sustainable development of the mining industry depends entirely on the design and implementation of sustainable mining policies. Whereas, the implementation of mining policies in mining practice depends a lot on the principles, of how the mining policies are reflected in the legal framework of mining. This paper aims to analyse the context of r...

Lignite is a sedimentary rock, formed in compressed peat. It is characterized by a low calorific value with a carbon content of around 25-35% and a very high amount of moisture, the lignite is often referred to as brown coal. Due to its relatively low heat content and high moisture, almost is used as a stream fuel for electricity generation. With a...

This research work aims to analyse the data from the Injury Notebook of the Stanterg mine (2007-2019), considering previous research regarding mining accidents at this mine, conducted by the author. Previous research shows that about 72% of the accidents occurred in underground mining activities, whereas of the underground accidents themselves, abo...

Kosovo has significant reserves of coal, where their exploitation began in 1922, coal is a mixture of organic mineral material produced by a natural process of growth and decay, or an accumulation of debris both vegetal and mineral with some sorting and stratification. Based on the geological map, the Kosovo Basin is mainly a tectonic area filled w...

In mining, there are many complex problems that need to be solved in a limited period of time. When solving these complex tasks, it is necessary to take into account many parameters, all in order to determine the optimal solution for a given problem. The application of multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) is very widely used to solve such...

Purpose. In safety management, near-miss incident (NMI) reporting has been recognised as an essential practice in the prevention of mining accidents. This research aims to investigate near-miss incidents in Kosovo mining operations based on previous researches and in-situ surveys. Methods. For this purpose, both qualitative and quantitative methods...

The correct choice of the method of mining is of great importance, because it has a great impact on the total costs in the exploitation of mineral resources. The basic methodology for numerical ranking of mining excavation methods is the Nicholas methodology, according to which mining-geological factors of rock mass are taken into account. This cho...

In this paper, preliminary support design of the main underground opening (i.e., mine adit) located at the Artana lead-zinc mine, Kosovo, was examined by employing both conventional and numerical methods for safe underground excavation and design. In order to conduct field studies including discontinuity surveying and sampling for laboratory testin...

Underground mining is considered one of the most dangerous industries, because serious injuries or accidents often occur at the workplace. In recent years, fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making has found increasing application in job risk assessment, taking into account a number of influential parameters. This paper uses fuzzy TOPSIS method for w...

As the major industries, mining has high potential risk of accidents. Historically minerals have supported humane development and civilization but at the same time this industry has been accompanied by accidents, often with disastrous consequences. Number of mine accidents worldwide, as well as in the Stan Terg mine is disturbing, even more disturb...

Compared to the major industries, mining industry has a high risk accident potential. Over ten thousand miners are killed every year, and this is just the official figure. It is assumed that the number of the injured might exceed one hundred thousand miners, and many of them remain disable [1,2]. The history of mining is linked to the development o...

This paper aims to provide facts and figures of mining products, related on their impact to economic growth i.e. social wellbeing, as well as mining impact into environment, consequently key principles of mineral waste reduction-reuse-recycling. Current trends, challenges, benefits and future perspective of 3R policies in mining industry.

Managing of mining industry is becoming a worldwide concern and this for two reasons, first (i); society have been and continue to be depending on mineral resources exploitation, in order to meet their needs, which means the tailing creation will continue and second (ii); the challenges on managing of environment protection against mining industry....

Kosovo is endowed with resources of lead and zinc; there are about 60 million tons of proven reserves, within so called Trepça's mineral belt.
