The results of the analysis of coal quality show changes when coal is transported to the stockpile from the mining front with a change in quality of 2.78% total moisture, 15.65 ash content, 1305.01 Kcal/kg calorific value. And the results of the analysis of changes in the quality of coal in the stockpile with the range determined by the company with a total moisture value of 1.36%, ash content of 7.46%, calorific value of 708.03 Kcal/kg.
