Possibilities of exploitation of graphite deposit in the Czech republic

graphite raw material mining in the immediate vicinity of the town of
Český Krumlov, where there are three sub-locations called Městský
Vrch, Lazec-Křenov and Bíca. These sites are significant in terms of
the quantity of natural graphite reserves, a raw material listed as a
critical raw material by the EU. This list is regularly updated to reflect
changing economic importance and supply challenges based on
industrial availability. The article describes possible alternatives for
the resumption of graphite mining in the Český Krumlov deposit
(Městský Vrch and Lazec – Křenov localities). It describes the initial
situation at the Český Krumlov deposit after the end of mining and
the alternatives for the design of opening and mining operations. The
authors conclude by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of
the proposed alternatives.
