The Cukar 2 east ore body represents the latest explored ore body within the Mucim Mine with possibilities to enter exploitation stage in near fututre. Calculated ore-bearing coefficient in the Cukar 2 east ore body was 0.40%, meaning that within the ore body boundaries 60% of mass is not mineralized somehow, which is compatible with remaining three ore bodies within the Buchim porphyry copper mine. The calculated value of variation coefficient (V) has shown value of 71.39% that is in the range of 43-100%, which d...

The Lojane arsenic-antimony deposit with its former mine facilities, for a longer period, represents source of contamination with heavy and toxic metals into the air, water and soil.
