Coal Mining
Introduction. Coal mining in Poland is confined to three coal basins: the Upper Silesian Basin (USB) where coal exploitation has lasted for 250 years, the Lower Silesian Basin (LSB) around Nowa Ruda and Wałbrzych, and the Lublin Basin (LB). Poland is the biggest producer of hard coal in the European Union.
