Mining, due to its intensive economic operation, is primarily associated with negative impact on natural environment and destruction of natural assets, and that regardless of the method of raw materials extraction. So, the great challenge now is to restore natural balance to areas affected by the consequences of this operation. Literature on the subject features a lot of publications on recultivation, understood as reintroduction of forests, meadows, arable land and water courses into degraded former mining areas with the purpose of their regeneration, particularly with reference to surface mining. The article focuses on other methods of reusing such areas, bearing the features of sustainable development, which is aimed at restoration, protection and eco-friendly use of natural environment previously degraded by mining. The activities, which the author describes as ?ECO-MINING,? include ? among others ? transforming the areas of former mining operations into power plants using renewable energy sources and renaturalization of surface results of raw materials extraction, i.e. exhausted open pits and dumping grounds. The base for the study of this problem is the field research carried out in years 2015 ? 2017 in European mining regions: the Saar Basin and Lusatia in Germany and Moselle and Nord-Pas-de-Calais in France.
