Abstract
The paper presents the results of remote monitoring of open pit mining development at coking coal deposits near the rural settlement of Cauirisa and the towns of Tete and Moatize on the territory of the Republic of Mozambique. Remote sensing studies and analytical calculations revealed the number of mining and haulage machines working in the coal pits, as well as determined the annual volume of overburden and coal excavation. The results of satellite observations helped to identify a steady trend to increase the volumes of coal mining.
