Abstract

Relevance. Despite a number of difficulties, the role of coal in the global energy balance keeps remaining important with an increase in consumption volumes, mainly by Asian and African countries. The volumes of coal production and export from Russia will increase due to its Eastern regions. The use of accumulated knowledge about the development of large coal deposits contributes to the evaluation and development of new subsoil use objects at a higher qualitative level. Objectives. The research is aimed at analyzing the conditions and experience of the operation of the coal mining complexes of Kuzbass, the Kansk-Achinsk Coal Basin and South Yakutia from the standpoint of their subsequent use in the development of new deposits. Methods Applied. The analysis of information on the resource base, efficiency of solutions used and planned for use at enterprises for coal production and supply to consumers; synthesis of approaches to the assessment and rational management of large industrial coal complexes. Originality. It has been shown that large complexes for openpit coal mining are based on the most important brachysyncline-type deposits in terms of coal reserves and quality with favorable mining and geological conditions. The authors revealed a discrepancy between a number of design solutions and the actual conditions of functioning of the complexes and the operation of open pits, especially in terms of the declared demand for coal, the complexity of mining and geological conditions for development, the choice of types of mining transport equipment and drainage methods. Result and practical relevance. It has been noted that the resource base of coal complexes is sufficient for sustainable long-term mining, but their potential natural resources are not always fully used. The paper describes trends in the development of industrial complexes using the cluster approach as an organizational form of interaction between all the facilities of deposit development and the coal products supply chains created on their basis.
