Abstract

It is shown that as a complex probabilistic system, the mining company works on the contact of the geological and market environments. These environments include different categories of uncertainty which affect the successful development of the enterprise. The prerequisites for differentiating the mineral and raw potential of a coal deposit during its transformation from the inherent possibility to reality during development are considered. The types of potential are identified: limiting, attainable, and investment. A typology of the deposit potential is presented, taking into account the stage of geological exploration, knowledge of the coal properties, stage of development of the subsoil object. The concepts of uncertainty categories are revealed: static, ergodic and non-ergodic.
