  1. Barbara Radwanek-Bąk Polish Geological Institute-Carpathian Branch Polias Geological Survey Some problems of sustainable management of mineral resources in Poland

  2. Polish mineral resources over centuries

  3. Mile stones of the polish mining and prospection geology • 1253 – rock salt underground Bochnia mine • 1290 - rock salt Wieliczka mine • 1415 - native sulphur mining in Swoszowice near Krakow • 1740 - lignite mine in the Turoszów area • 1822 - Zn-Pb Bolesław mine • 1947- discovery of Kłodawa salt dome deposit • 1953 - discovery of huge native sulphur deposits in the Tarnobrzeg area • 1954 - discovery of lignite deposits by Konin and Bełchatów • 1957 – discovery of Cu ore deposits in the Lubin-Polkowice area • 1959 – KGHM –Cu ores mining and processing plant • 1959 - opencast sulphur mine in Piaseczno • 1967 - discovery of hard coal deposit Łęczna in the Lublin Basin • 1974 - Zn-Pb mine at Olkusz • 1975 - lignite Bełchatów mine • 1982 - hard coal mine Bogdanka in the Lublin Basin

  4. The main mineral resources and the amount of their extraction in 2005;in million tonnes, natural gas in billions m3

  5. Future forecast of the mining development in Poland

  6. Environmental and spatial planning conditioning of mining activity • 1. A neccessity of keeping a number of environmental standards (water and air pollution, noise, waste management) • 2. Minimization of anthropogenic impacts of mining industry to the environment • 3. Growing of nature protected areas and objects • 4. Development of housing and growing of spatial-planning conflicts • 5. Decreasing of a mineral deposits and mineral resources accessibility, causing possible future lack of raw materials

  7. a Housing development / mining activity conflict. Sandstone quarry at Klikuszowa

  8. Housing and public facilities / deposit accessibility conflict. Natural aggregate deposits of the Dunajec valley.

  9. Natura 2000 Net/deposits accessibitity conflict.Natural aggregate deposits of the Soła river valley

  10. Ecological conflict of the mineral deposits in the polish part of the Carpathians

  11. Reasons of ecological and spatial-planning conflicts of mineral deposits exploited in the polish part of the Carpathians

  12. Future mining = sustainable mining = sustainable management of mineral resources Sustainable mining - conducting mineral activity according to sustainable development principles. It relates to all stages of mining and processing activities. In the field of geology: • 1. Elaboration of environmental management principles in the areas where minerals are exploited: - preparing geological studies and pre-feasibility studies with respect to the environmental factors; - preparing the environmental impact assessments. • 2. Balancing mineral deposits and mineral resources and keeping the mining areas register. • 3. Classifying and valorisation of the deposits - for the sake of their protection (accessibility) - to show the possible conflicts between their management, environment and land use-planning • 4. Preparing the geological-economic- environmental maps of Poland in 1:50 000 • 5. Keeping activities for mineral waste utilization (investigations and tests, preparing maps showing location dumps of mineral waste useful for road construction) • 6. Identification and assessment of the anthropopgenic mineral deposits.

  13. Future mining=sustainable mining • In the field of mining activity: • 1. Decreasing of negative impacts of mining • 2. Reasonable management and utilization of mineral resources • 3. Securing the unutilized mineral reserves in abandoned deposits • 4. Reclamation and redevelopment of mining sites and post mining areas • 5. Geodiversity protection: - development of geoparks in post mining areas - elaboration geotourist attractions and/or geosities studies.

  14. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

  15. Conclusions • Future development of mining have to be realized according to the sustainable development rules. • The pointed fields of the activity are realized with different intensity by the Polish Geological Survey. 3.
