Polish sulphur deposits occur in the northern, marginal part of the Carpathian Foredeep, in the s.c. chemical horizon of the Lower Tortonian (Miocene, Neogene). This horizon in the productive series is made up of gypsums and post-gypsum formations, especially sulphur-bearing limestones (sulphur content more than 5%). The thickness of seam sulphur deposits is from few to over 40 meters, generally 10-20 m, and average geological yield exceeds 8 Mg/m2. The bottom of the chemical series create sandstones, mudstones, s...

The Lublin Coal Basin (LCB) is situated in the eastern part of Poland. Bituminous coals occur in Carboniferous Layers under the thin overburden built from Jurassic, Cretaceous and Neogene sediments. Most attractive seams (8 -12 to 18 balanced seams), with the mean thickness of about 1,3 ? 1,7 m (rarely under 2 ? 3 m) appear deep, most often at depth 750 ? 1000 m. They are cut by rare net of faults. Within the surface 1 200 km2 eleven deposits were documented, of which the only one is exploited. Total resources of ...
