Summary/Abstract: Extraction of minerals is a subject of the Act of 9 June 2011 Geological and Mining Law as well as of the Act of 20 July 2017 Water Law. Author tries to compare and distinguish scopes of the both Acts, explaining meaning of crucial notions in the following order: mineral, deposit and extraction. He came to the conclusion that the Geological and Mining Law interferes with the Water Law only in the case when minerals constitute deposit located within surface waters. However, such a situation occurs rarely as a result of a human impact on waters, since pursuant to art. 6 item 1 point 19 of the Geological and Mining Law a mineral deposit is defined as a natural accumulation of minerals.
