Abstract:The article points to possibilities of using a short-front system as an alternative exploitation system, the application of which has a positive influence on the economic effects of a mining plant. A comparative analysis of the residual exploitation of a deposit by means of longwall and short-front systems has been conducted. The results of the analysis have been discussed, which indicated that the application of mining systems (short-front) can be profitable for mining plants and may lead to rational mining of deposit residual. Moreover, the use of a short-front system allowed a double increase of the analysed seam exploitation.
Key words: coal deposit mining, short-front systems, economic analysis
