Industry in Moravian-Silesian Region is the basis for employment of the population of this region. Mining activity, which has a long-standing history in the region is going through restructuralization and the gradual attenuation in recent years. Mining industry in the Moravian-Silesian region leads to the progressive termination of mining, and therefore the authors respond to these new realities. This paper evaluates the socioeconomic impact on employees and possible solutions in the mining sector in the context of the decline of mining. Employees who work in the mining environment in coal mining companies or in the supply service are closely profiled in terms of the labor market, and therefore even subsequent measures after finishing the exploitation will be specific.

The general feature of development after year 1989 in the Czech Republic is a gradual decrease in mining by 30-40% for most raw materials. The period of mining in years 1990 - 1994 is interesting because decrease in mining was only a consequence of changes in socio-economic conditions in the Czech Republic. Further fluctuations in mining after 1994 until today, when data for mining of studied raw materials are available, ie. year 2014 are mainly the result of market forces on the national and world market. This article responds to this phenomenon, and aims to determine the dependency of construction mineral resources on external conditions, which are selected basic macroeconomic indicators (gross domestic product and inflation rate), but also indicators that do not belong among classical macroeconomic variables (foreign trade and others).

In the last few years, there has been intensive discussion in the public (both professional and non-professional) on the intensity and the need for mining and quarrying. However, the vast majority of European countries had to resort to a substantial reduction in the mining sector, due to pressure from environmental organizations. This obviously also concerns the treatment of extracted minerals. At present, the most frequently discussed commodities include gold. Among other things, it is also due to the fact that in the Czech Republic, the majority of registered deposits are located in protected areas. Another problem may also be cyanide leaching, which has been the most frequently used method for obtaining gold concentrate for many years. In the contribution, we try to find suitable alternatives for obtaining high quality, full-fledged gold concentrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
