This article presents the high risks of exploration and mining of coal deposits for coal supply to hard-to-reach regions of North Yakutia (North-east of Russia). It?s caused by a lot of factors complicating and cost-increasing all process of development of the deposits from exploration of georesource to coal combustion of consumer remote from coal mines for thousands of kilometres. Special geoinformation systems is created and developed to improve the level of technological and organizational decisions. It is base...

This article presents the analysis of the existing schemes of mining, logistics and consumption of fuel in North Yakutia which ones are form technological chains unique in complexity of management. This is due to negative impact of a large number of analyzed factors. The general trend is towards to reduction of coal consumption in hard-to-reach regions. Therefore, local coal deposits near the key points of consumption are not developed. Geotechnical and economic indicators of small-scale coal mines are generally l...
