Abstract: Large quantity of clay, sands, marl and marly limestone are being disposed off as a waste material during the exploitation of coal as a useful mineral resource at opencasts in Tuzla Canton. Thus they disrupt the environment even though they could be used for technical and biological re-cultivation of devasted area. Legal regulations in this field are inufficient and rarely applied. Detailed exploration of waste materials in the area of Tuzla Canton has been carried out within „REINTRO“ project. Following that exploration, marl fom PK „Višća“ and clayey-sandy sediments from PK „Šikulje“ have been selected for test lots. The results of the exploration show that the marl and clayey-sandy sediments canbe used for biological re-cultivation at old abandoned opencasts. Marl can also, with minor correction, beused for cement production and sand can be used as a corrective component in cement production.

Key words: coal exploitation, waste, clays, marl, marly limestone, detailed exploration, cement.
