Creation of natural typing of sections of different thickness of the C8H coal seam of the «Dniprovska» mine (Ukraine) according to the germanium content

The method of creating an objective (natural) typification of sections of the coal seam of
the Dniprovska mine of different capacities according to germanium concentrations has been
established and substantiated. The constructed dendrograms of clustering of coal seam areas
by Ge content can be used as a basis for developing a natural typification of coal seams
for geological and economic evaluation. This will make it possible to make maximum use of
already available information and interpret the obtained results in geological and genetic
concepts, which provides the possibility of its use for the complex use of mineral raw
materials, solving strategic issues of sustainable development of Ukraine.
