Dinogetia (Garvan). The chalk was extracted<br />

at Murtfatlar, marble at Ruschita and Rusca<br />

Montana, sandstone at Luncavita, Mehadica,<br />

Rusca Montana and Verendin.<br />

The calcareous tuff surface exploitations<br />

were cited at Toplet, Ilisova, Maceris,<br />

Svinita, Pescari and argillaceous schist at<br />

Rapa (Baile Herculane). Iron ore<br />

exploitation had remained at Teliucu<br />

Inferior. The identified quarries and open<br />

pits was upwards of 25.<br />

2.4 Mining Surface in the Modern Age<br />

3,386 of quarries and open pits, identified up<br />

to now, had extracted approximately 82 of<br />

mineral substances. Extracted metallic ores<br />

are: bauxite (101 quarries), iron ore (7),<br />

manganese ore (4), copper ore (4), goldsilver<br />

ore (2), and complex ore (2).<br />

Non-metallic mineral substance surface<br />

exploitation were very numerous (Marinescu<br />

et al., 2001; Marinescu et al., 2002;<br />

Marinescu, 2003): sand and gravel (787<br />

open pits and quarries), limestone (555),<br />

andesite (232), sandstone (206), sand (171),<br />

gravel (127), marble (93), dacite tuff (60),<br />

granite (58), dacite (46), dolomite and<br />

dolomite-limestone (46), lignite (45),<br />

gypsum (44), basalt (41), infusible clay (39),<br />

sandstone and conglomerate (32), bentone<br />

and bentone tuff (26), marl (24), quartzite<br />

(24), green schist (23), granodiorite (21),<br />

rhyolite (20), travertine (20), diorite (18),<br />

conglomerate (17), gneiss (17), loess and<br />

loess clay (15), decorative limestone (14),<br />

colored earth (14), kaolin clay (13), micaschist<br />

(12), serpentine (12), perlite (11),<br />

diatomite (11), chalk (11), amphibolite (10),<br />

diabase (10), kaolin (8), pegmatite feldspar<br />

(8), barite (6), pegmatite mica (6), andesitic<br />

tuff (5), basaltic tuff (4), kaolin sand (4),<br />

slate (4), quartz (4), andesitic agglomerate<br />

(4), talc (4), gabbro (3), decorative andesite<br />

(3), calcareous tuff (3), syenite (2), firestone<br />

(2), basaltic scoria (2), alabaster (2),<br />

decorative granite (2), aragonite (2), dolerite<br />

(2), graphite (2), bentone clay (1), asbestos<br />

(1), calcite (1), celestite (1), decorative<br />

granodiorite (1), decorative sandstone (1),<br />

guano (1), marl-limestone (1), peridotite (1),<br />

magnesite rock (1), sulphur (1) trachyte (1).<br />

The extracted power substances were coal<br />

(48 quarries) and bituminous rocks (3).<br />

Today, the economic crisis had reduced<br />

drastic both surface exploitation number and<br />

exploited mineral substances number.<br />

3 SURFACE <strong>MINING</strong> ON SUBSTANCES<br />

TYPES<br />

3.1 Mining Surface Regarding Power<br />

Substances Obtaining<br />

In function of the possibility to generate<br />

energy, the surface exploited substances are<br />

divided in power and non-power.<br />

Only 4 power substances was exploited at<br />

the surface of the ground, in 51 quarries:<br />

lignite (45 quarries), pit coal (3), bituminous<br />

schist (2) and bituminous sand (1). The most<br />

substances (78) were non-power and for its<br />

extraction were used a very large number of<br />

identified open pits and quarries: 3,427.<br />

3.2 Mining Surface Regarding Metallic<br />

Mineral Substances Obtaining<br />

These mineral substances can be distribute<br />

in metallic and non-metallic. Only 6 metallic<br />

mineral substances, misname metallic ores,<br />

was exploited: ferrous ores (9 quarries),<br />

manganese ores (4), copper ores (4), bauxite<br />

(101), gold-silver ores (6), complex (lead,<br />

zinc, copper) ores (2). The total metallic<br />

ores quarries were 126. The most exploited<br />

substances (77) were non-metallic and for its<br />

extraction were used an very large number of<br />

identified surface exploitations: 3,378.<br />

3.3 Mining Surface Regarding Renewable<br />

Mineral Substances Obtaining<br />

On this criterion, two types of exploited<br />

substances exist: renewable and nonrenewable.<br />

The renewable type was<br />

exploited in 1,088 open pits (fig.1).<br />
