Mine Bardh Good
working surface area of 4.5 km22512 employees
main supplier to Kosovo B plantnew equipment from Holland and Germany arrivedPresent reserve of 35 mil tones
Needsneglect over last 10 years has caused loss of conveyor beltsdue to slippageangle of mining needs to be changed (time consuming)more new machinery and parts for the old onesAncillary plant to cover numerous support operationsnew access routes

Coal Production
Improvement of overburden removal processat both mines
Install better conveyor belts
Better machineryTogether have around 70 million tons currentcapability
Overall there is around 11 billion tons of coalvarying quality

Ancillary Plants
Need because support main excavators
Ground preparation
Positioning of conveyors Preparing roads
New 8 ancillary machines have been
delivered to both minesStill need more machines at aprox. cost
of 7 million

Coal Quality
Low quality lignite
Quality ranges from 6500 kg/kJ - 8500 kg/kJ
Ash content is 25%
Moisture content is 50%
Sulfur Content under 1%
Overburden to coal ratio vary 1 to 1 - 3 to 1
(3 cubic meters of overburden to 1 ton of lignite)
Heat base cost for Kosovo lignite is $ 1.3/GJ compare to$2/ton of coal that Western Europe pays to import

Total costs estimated by KEK Director Mr A.Mazreku in 2000 Mine Bardh
25,000,000 EURO
Mine Mirash40,000,000 EURO
Seperation and Drying Plant35,000,000 EURO

Transportation
Roads
Mirash mine road is 68,10 km
Bardh mine road is 59,50 km
Reconstruction of mine roads started in 2001 Overall roads need improvement if export is to be
made this way
Railroads
Good shape
Would need access to the mines
Connected to the neighborhood countries

Export Possibilities
Good EU imported approx 154-mil mt of coal in 2000 (80%
of its fuel)
Higher oil prices
Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania depend on importfor their energy needs
Consumption at 243-mil MT last year
Gasification
Bad Europe sees coal as dirty inefficient energy source
Green revolution
