Abstract
In the article, the authors report on the diversified perspective on the various aspects of the mining sector in Valea Jiului with reference to the attraction of mining land in new investment projects from those interested in the public and private sphere. It is stated that the mining lands offer opportunities for expansion of reserves or zonal development in the future; mining land can be attractive to investors because it offers prospects for long-term growth and profitability. The authors present data on the disposal of mining lands unloaded of technological burdens, make an updated inventory of mining lands in the Valea Jiului Basin available for expressions of interest in expropriation and inclusion in new zonal development programs. At the same time, a model is proposed for the recovery of the affected mining lands, practically analyzing the influence of the "mechanized felling" system to avoid surface subsidence. Details are given about the lack of mining security, land damage through subsidence, and it is recommended that each mining unit be equipped and operate with a distinct silting station, taking into account the objective requirement to protect against the loosening of the rock massif of the land up to date, above the exploitation perimeters.
