Serbia, Where are all the gold deposits

A few days ago, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, told the citizens that one of the 80 largest gold deposits on the territory of our country was found in one of the poorest parts of Serbia.

This could be a deposit in Southeast Serbia, near the border with Bulgaria and Macedonia, where the Canadian research firm Medgold Resources found certain indicators that there is gold, about 19 tons.

In the middle of this year, Medgold bought 51 percent of the rights to the Tlamino Project from Fortuna Silver Mines for about three million dollars.

However, for now, gold is being mined at two locations. The largest deposit of gold is located in the vicinity of Bor and is mined by the Chinese Zijin from mine deposits in Majdanpek, Veliki Krivelje, Cerovo, Borska Reka and the largest of all, the Čukaru Peki mine, which was opened last year.

These are primarily copper mines, and copper ore is often accompanied by gold veins.

Despite this, research done by the American company Freeport McMoran together with the Canadian company Reservoir Minerals showed that there are about 98 tons of gold ore in the Chukaru Peki gold vein, although later reports speak of 81 tons of gold.

Apart from the surroundings of Bor and Majdanpek, gold is also currently extracted in the Lece mine near Medveđa, but it is primarily a lead and zinc mine.

Slightly smaller gold reserves are found in Western Serbia, about 27 tons in total.

At the beginning of the year, gold exploration rights were also granted in southwestern Serbia on the slopes of Mount Rogozna, on the slopes of Golija, Danas writes.
