The presented article deals with the impact of mining of mineral resources, namely zeolites, to the socio -economic area of regional development. Case study is focused on analysis of macroeconomic parameters of selected indicators for the implementation of the zeolite mining project in the Prešov region. This way we can point out to benefits for the state and the region. In accordance with the applicable legislation are quantified revenues for the municipality (or region) -the form of payments for the mining area, extracted minerals and local taxes and fees, for the state in the form of levies and taxes on employment, corporate income tax, VAT. In conclusion, it summarizes and quantifies the economic benefits of zeolite mining for the state and the investor through the duration of the surface mining of the mineral resource.

Information about the geological structure of Kuznetsky coal basin (Kuzbass) allows us to note that coal deposits developed by open-cast method are characterized by complicated conditions and have the following features: large length of deposits at significant depths of occurrence; coal series bedding of different thicknesses (from 1 to 40 m); different dip angles (from 3 to 90º); a significant number of dip and direction disturbances; different thickness of unconsolidated quaternary sediments (from 5 to 40 m); a wide range of strength values of rocks. In addition, there is a thickness irregularity and frequent variability of elements of occurrence of coal seams within the boundaries of a quarry field both in length and depth of mining. From the point of view of open-pit mining, such deposits are complex-structured. The factors listed above have a decisive influence on the choice of technical means, the order of development and the possibility of carrying out surface mining operations. Therefore, there is a need for a systematization of mining and geological conditions for the development of coal deposits, the purpose of which is to ensure a process of evaluation of complex-structured coal deposits for the development of coal-bearing zones by various complexes of equipment.
