On the site the First mine field of Barzas deposit of Kuzbass lies a single seam Main in the form of brachysyncline, which sapropelite coals are suitable for obtaining liquid fuel, fuel gas, chemical for flotation, organic binder for preparation of asphalt concrete, etc. Combined development of mining extracted area is carried out from the day surface by short working faces using the complex of mobile equipment. At the seam outlet, under the pumps the several work sites are built sequentially in one direction. Preparatory and coal-face works are carried out using the tunneling machine and shuttle cars. Preparation is carried out by inclined working from the work site to the crest part. In process of deepening of mining works the coal excavation in short faces is carried out by horizontal layers. After mining the reserves the work sites are subsequently recultivated. Due to the minimal volumes of overburden, the natural landscape of the territory is preserved, the land intensity of coal mining and the volumes of subsequent mined-land reclamation are significantly reduced.
