This thesis discusses the type, quantity and quality of mineral resources and the characteristics of the area EP "Špica" as well as a detailed overview of the impact of the exploitation field on the environment and the importance of the implementation of environmental protection measures. Special emphasis is on the method of exploitation, mining. By respecting the prescribed safety measures, negative effects of the functioning of the exploitation field on the environment are reduced to a minimum. While mining has a significant impact on the environment, primarily in the environmental media: air, water, vegetation, animal species, soil, landscape, these impacts can be mitigated and reduced to acceptable level. Mining itself has the strongest impact on the environment because of high noise and because of seismic activity that manifests itself in the form of vibrations and elastic deformations of the rocks; and it can be foreseen as an artificial earthquake, at which the explosion position reperesnts its epicenter. To protect the environment against sputtering of the mass, it is important to stick to the correct geometry of the minefield, the permitted amount of explosives per stage of ignition, the use of millisecond retarders and others.
