Uzbek Geologists Discover New Coal Seams at Urikli Site

New coal seams have been discovered during geological surveys at the Urikli site in Surkhandarya.

Specialists from the Surkhandarya Field Expedition, part of the Hissar Central Geological Exploration Expedition under JSC “Uzbekgeologorazvedka,” are conducting underground and surface tunneling operations to assess coal reserves at the Urikli site.

During the course of the underground exploration, coal seams numbered 3, 4, 5, and 6 were identified. Geological exploration continues, with further assessments underway to determine the full extent and potential of the deposit.

These efforts form part of a broader initiative to explore and utilize Uzbekistan’s mineral resources more effectively.
