Within the Kolubara basin, during the Upper Pontian, the limnic (lake, swamp) coal-bearing series with coal seams and accompanying sediments was developed. The accompanying sediments are found in the floor and roof of the coal-bearing series, i.e., coal as the most strategically important mineral raw material. In particular, in the unexcavated part of the deposit “Tamnava-West field”, there are significant reserves of coal and non-metallic mineral raw materials that can be used in industry. Thus, gravels can be used in construction and road construction, while quartz sands represent an important industrial raw material (production of glass, ceramics, chemical industry, filter material for water treatment...). The paper will present a detailed analysis of gravel, sand and coal.
