Assessment of quarry of reopened mine čáry based on the mining right of the Slovak Republic and European union

Abstract

This article is aimed to determine the lignite market price in the reopened mine Cáry in Western Slovakia. A new method of quarry assessment based on the mining right, standards of the European Union and the Slovak republic has been used simultaneously. The Mine Cáry with its lignite deposit is a very perspective raw material source to produce power. The Lignite from this deposit with its low sulphur content and stable heating capacity is suitable to burn down in fluid boilers, which meet the ecological criteria. The raw material policy of the Slovak republic reflects the all-society interest to exploit the energetic raw material henceforward. The lignite mining in the mine Cáry started from driving of opening and preparing headings in 1989 Exploitation from the first long wall started in 1991, when 37 495 t lignite was exploited. During the whole existence of the Mine Záhorie, presently Mine Cáry, total 3 838 545 t lignite was exploited from 1991 up to 2006.
