This article analyzes the current state of mining and processing of basalt in Uzbekistan, the quality of manufactured basalt products, as well as the range of manufactured products and the state of the machine park of basalt pro-cessing enterprises. The reasons for the low volume of mining and processing of basalt rock, including the low production potential of the machine park of processing enterprises and a small assortment, and low quality of products, have been identified. Ways are proposed to increase the volume of extraction of basalt rock and improve the quality of products by cleaning the rock from sludge, hydroxides, salts, ash (hereinafter referred to as sludge). The possibilities of expanding the range of manufactured products due to the typification and introduction of new technologies for processing basalts are considered.
