OPENING OF LUBIN-SIEROSZOWICE ORE-COPPER DEPOSIT IN COMPLICATED HYDROGEOLOGICAL AND GEOLOGICAL-ENGINEERING CONDITIONSAbstract. All registered, successful and unsuccessful, site planning and mining management of ore-copper deposit of Fore-Sudetic Monocline, as well as construction of the specific mines and some of mining-base constructions, are the result of lack of- or inadequate knowledge in relation to hydrogeological and geological-engineering conditions. During the first-driving of ore-copper construction site in the area of Lubin-Sieroszowice, the implementation of already known and used strategies in deposit-construction management from other mining regions in Poland, was not satisfactory for the Lubin-Sieroszowice conditions. The consequences from this painful battle between man vs. nature, were not only costly but they significantly decreased a progress of the mine construction and, in general, the development of an ore-copper industry in Poland. The last fifty years from the moment of discovery, the opening and mining management of ore-copper Lubin-Sieroszowice deposit, are specifically analyzed here from the hydrogeological and geological-engineering conditions, not excluding general conclusions of all successes and failures in this matter. This paper represents the basic hydrogeological and geological-engineering problems related to: an evolution and expansion model of ore-copper mines, site planning of the deposits, openings driving, shaft constructions, leading in working development and exploitation of ore-copper deposits in underground mining.
