The first installment of the project, the Explanatory Dictionary of Mining ({{langx|uk|Тлумачний гірничий словник}}) was published in print in 1998 by the Donetsk National Technical University and is available online.
The second phase of the project involved the publication of the three-volume Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mining ({{langx|uk|Гірничий енциклопедичний словник}}) between 2001 and 2004. This set contains 12,700 encyclopedic articles.
The third stage involved the publication of the three-volume Concise Mining Encyclopedia ({{langx|uk|Мала гірнича енциклопедія}}) between 2004 and 2013. This comprehensive set contains 17,350 entries with numerous illustrations.{{efn|Some of the illustrations are available at Wikimedia Commons.}} This version of the encyclopedia is multilingual; all entries are written simultaneously in the Ukrainian, Russian, English, and German languages.{{cite web |url=http://studiapolskoukrainskie.uw.edu.pl/wp-content/uploads/sites/153/2016/07/19-Valentyna-Sobol.pdf |title=Valentyna Sobol.
