EDITORIAL 1/2023

Dear colleagues, friends,

I have pleasure in presenting issue 1/2023 of the "Inzynieria Mineralna" journal.
This issue of the journal is not quite usual. Thanks to the support of the POLISH MINERAL ENGINEERING
SOCIETY and the editorial board of the journal "Inzynieria Mineralna" in the person of Prof. Barbara Tora, Editor-in-
Chief of the Journal who invited Ukrainian scientists to contribute their research findings in mining to the journal, we
now have such a fine issue.
Miners of Ukraine have always been the vanguard of the scientific world regarding mineral extraction in difficult
mining and geological conditions. And in this issue, they are happy to share their experience.
The articles of this issue consider the full cycle of mining operations, from exploration of mineral deposits, their
surveying estimation, technological aspects of mineral extraction applying the latest technology and equipment to high
quality processing and obtaining the final product.
Environmental issues have become an important area of scientific development. This is especially topical since
Ukraine’s mining is integrating into the European and world mining science which preaches the principles of
environmental safety in mineral extraction and processing.
I would like to once again thank the Polish Mineral Processing Society and the editorial board of the "Inzynieria
Mineralna" for supporting Ukrainian science, as well as the entire Polish people for supporting Ukraine in the struggle
for independence from the Russian invaders.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!

Sincerely yours,
Serhii Chukharev,
quest editor of the issue 1/2023 of “Inzynieria Mineralna”,
