“…Therefore, it is often impossible to avoid conflicts by selecting a different location. It should be noted that only after finding and documenting the resources, is it possible to propose their safeguarding, for example in land use planning instruments [36,37].…”

Events that change the global economy rapidly, without warning, in principle strongly affect mining, which is one of the pillars of global development. After the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic, the mining pillar seems to be relatively stable. In this study, thanks to the meeting of an international team, it was possible to collect and compare a set of data on the impact on mining. In contrast to the general assessments of the stability of the mining sector, the authors decided to assess the impact of Covid-19 at individual stages of the mining project life cycle. In this way, it was possible to identify the most impacted fragments of the mining pillar. It was assessed that the highest influence of Covid-19 is observed in projects implementing feasibility studies and in projects for the development of new mines. The same is true of extracting residual resources in mines prior to the closure decision. The medium impact was confirmed at the exploration and discovery stage. The authors conclude that the impact on the current mining production is smaller and the effects in this case are short term, which is mainly due to a continued strong demand for minerals in China, which has balanced the weaker demand in other parts of the world. On the other hand, stopping the exploration and development of new mines will have a long-term impact, including an increased possibility of disruption of the future security of supplies of raw materials.

“…Theoretically, every documented deposit should then be taken into account in the aforementioned documents and the manner of land development should not prevent and/or restrict the management of a deposit, which is stipulated in detail in the Geological and Mining Law [54]. Numerous cases, however, indicate that this provision is not correctly implemented [21,29,31,109].…”

“…Existing studies presenting the subject of mineral deposit safeguarding in Poland have been executed primarily on the national level [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], while the inter-state comparative analysis has appeared in single publications and related only to Slovakia [31]. Multiple times, the studies focused on only one of many safeguarding tools [32][33][34][35][36] or a specific group of minerals [37,38], without the comprehensive analysis of the issue of deposit safeguarding.…”

Mineral deposits are essential for the economic, technological and social development. However, to enable them to play an appropriate role in the process of sustainable development, they need to be safeguarded in a comprehensive and systemic manner in the same measure as other elements of the environment. The practice of securing access to areas where the mineral deposits can be found is based on the statement that they can be extracted only in places where they occur. This fact defines the type and scope of instruments for safeguarding prospective deposit areas of minerals and their documented deposits. These issues gained in significance in the EU level in recent years however views on this subject across the Member States still vary. The paper subjects instruments of mineral deposit safeguarding used in Poland, Slovakia and Czechia to the analysis and multi-criteria comparative assessment. It recommends their division into the conceptual, legal, spatial planning and economic ones. As a result of studies, similarities and differences in the approach to mineral deposit safeguarding in individual countries are shown, indicating good practices and suggesting possible changes. The analysis revealed many analogies in actions aimed at mineral deposit safeguarding in individual countries, however the assessment of their effectiveness and implementation points at the necessity of taking further steps to increase deposit safeguarding.

“…However, work aimed at introducing an appropriate system of safeguarding of mineral deposits has been going on for much longer in Poland [47][48][49][50]. Various aspects of rational mineral deposit management and mineral resources safeguarding have been discussed in numerous publications [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. An important proposed outcome of this work was a draft proposal of the law on mineral deposits safeguarding presented in 2011 [52], although it has never become the subject of a legislative process at the government level.…”

Safeguarding of Key Minerals Deposits as a Basis of Sustainable Development of Polish Economy

2021

Secure and sustainable supply of minerals is important for the stable development of a country’s economy, as well as the global economy. Poland’s economic performance—as a dynamically developing country—is also largely dependent on the availability of minerals and security of their supplies both from internal sources and form imports. In Poland, 42 key minerals—i.e., those of fundamental importance for the proper functioning of the economy and satisfying the living needs of the society—have been recently indicated. From among them, 19 key minerals have been recognized by authors as having a proven resource base in Poland and—on the other hand—having moderately- or strongly growing domestic consumption trends. An assessment of the mineral resource base for their production, a sufficiency of the resources of developed deposits, as well as possible means of undeveloped deposits safeguarding were analyzed and discussed. It was found that the long-term needs of the Polish industry can be satisfied only for some of them: coking coal, copper, and silver, as well as numerous industrial and construction minerals. Moreover, existence of a sufficient resource base and appropriate means of their safeguarding may potentially have a significant impact on Poland’s and Europe’s minerals security, in particular regarding several minerals for which Poland is an important supplier to the European market, i.e., coking coal, copper, silver, and elemental sulfur.
