The Mirash and Bardh open-cast coal mines are lignite coal mines in Kosovo operatied by the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK).
The two mines cover a working surface area of 10 km and, if all the external dump sites from 1956-1991 are included, the mine will cover a total surface area of 11 km.

The Mirash and Bardh open-cast coal mines are lignite coal mines in Kosovo operatied by the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK).
The two mines cover a working surface area of 10 km and, if all the external dump sites from 1956-1991 are included, the mine will cover a total surface area of 11 km.
Coal extraction has been developed in two coal mines, with a projected output target of 16.7 million tons of coal per year, not including the removal of 28 millions m3 of overburden. The coal is mined by using a rotor excavator and transportation to the generating plants ("Kosovo A" and "Kosovo B") is on conveyor belts. Until the end of 1998, 226,260,825 tons of coal had been mined in Kosovo, representing 1.58% of the estimated geological deposits and 1.96% of the total exploitable reserves.
The projected production of this coal mine has been set at 8.6 million tons per year for coal, and 14 million m per year for overburden. In order to reach this target the equipment in the mines includes 11...
