The current geopolitical conditions, market changes and difficult provision of the necessary mineral raw materials, caused the unfavorable position of producers in the procurement of mineral production inputs. Strategic planning of national mineral needs requires an economic evaluation of mineral reserves. The method of expert economic evaluation e...

In modern market conditions, determining the economic viability of geological exploration and exploitation of mineral resources is accompanied by a number of traditional and new influencing factors, which need to be analyzed. The complexity of the economic evaluation of mineral reserves stems from the fact that the valorization of mineral resources...

Material production of mineral raw materials is accompanied by specific costs, the general consideration of which is necessary as part of long-term production planning. A special problem that accompanies the definition of these costs is that their planned consideration must be performed much earlier before the start of the production in question. A...

The complexity of the businessconditions of the mineral sector companiesrequires the application of various data andinformation dominantly related to geological,mining, technological and economic aspects ofoperations. The special complexity is reflected inthe interrelation between the mentioned aspects,which appears in the geological-economic analy...

The Rudnik orefield is one of the well-known skarn-replacement and high-temperature hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Bi-W polymetallic sulfide deposits, and is a part of the Šumadija Metallogenic District, Serbia. It comprises ore bodies grouped into several major ore zones. The pseudostratified and platelike ore bodies have relatively high content of valu...

Ni-Sb)-bearing Cu-arsenides are rare minerals within the Mlakva and Kram mining sectors (Boranja ore field) one of the less-known Serbian Cu deposits. (Ni-Sb)-bearing Cu-arsenides were collected from the Mlakva skarn-replacement Cu(Ag,Bi)-FeS polymetallic deposit. The identified phases include β-domeykite, Ni-bearing koutekite and (Ni-Sb)-bearing α...

Contemporary production of various mineral raw materials in the domestic mineral economy of Serbia faces problems and limitations of different types. Economic demands of the market economy, together with reduced investment funds and a short economic cycle of crafts, make small deposits of mineral raw materials especially attractive as objects of ge...

Hadži Prodanova Cave in western Serbia is a multilayered site which, in addition to Palaeolithic tools, has yielded a relatively rich fauna of small and large vertebrates. In this paper the rodent fauna from this site is described. In total, 13 species of rodents have been found: Spermophilus cf. citelloides, Sicista subtilis, Mesocricetus newtoni,...

The application of economic criteria of profitability and business operation is not only required but essential in the modern business climate for the proper functioning of a country’s mineral sector, mineral economics and ensuring market survival. A distinctive feature of economic evaluations of mineral reserves is their division into strategic mi...

Sustainable use of metallic mineral resources of Serbia, being a part of natural resources, represents the basis for the planning, functioning, development and growth of numerous sectors of the economy as well as the basis for assessing the positions and perspectives for further socioeconomic development of the country. Following a two-decade long...

(Ni-Sb)-bearing Cu-arsenides are rare minerals within the Mlakva and Kram mining sectors (Boranja ore field) one of the less-known Serbian Cu deposits. (Ni-Sb)-bearing Cu-arsenides were collected from the Mlakva skarn-replacement Cu(Ag,Bi)-FeS polymetallic deposit. The identified phases include β-domeykite, Ni-bearing koutekite and (Ni–Sb)-bearing...

This paper presents the development of a WebGIS application aimed at providing safe and reliable data needed for reclamation of abandoned mines in national parks and other protected areas in Vojvodina in compliance with existing legal regulations. The geodatabase model for this application has been developed using UML and the CASE tool Microsoft Vi...

The Quaternary sediments in the Danube and Sava riparian area near Belgrade have a considerable thickness. Several categories of deposits (fluvial-lacustrine, fluvial and aeolian) of Pliocene and Quaternary age have been identified. Their thickness, granulometric composition and paleontological features change depending on the distance from the rec...

The successful operation of the mineral sector in modern business conditions, labeled by transition crossing to a market mineral economy and establishing market conditions for the production and trade of mineral raw materials, requires the development of expert economic evaluations of mineral reserves and resources. This evaluation basically repres...

By means of geological explorations of nuclear mineral raw materials carried out of Serbia during the period 1948-2000, nine deposits and 11 significant uranium mineral occurrences were registered. The total uranium mineral resources within the identified deposits in Serbia are estimated at 11.1 million tons containing 4,150 t of uranium while th...

A new anuran (toads and frogs) fauna has been found in Late Pleistocene deposits of the Baranica Cave (eastern Serbia). Five taxa of anurans are described in this paper: Pelobates sp., Bufotes sp. ex gr. viridis, Rana sp., Pelo-phylax cf. ridibundus, Pelophylax sp. This fauna is mostly of steppe, lowland character.

The Quaternary sediments in the Danube and Sava riparian area near Bel-grade have a considerable thickness. Pleistocene fluvial deposits which form a major part of the Quaternary sediments have a great significance, since they prove to be excellent collectors of ground water. Their thickness, granulometri-cal composition and palaeontological featur...

Mineral resources are finite and nonrenewable in the sense that their extraction permanently depletes a country's resource inventory. The role of governments should be to manage the exploitation of these resources to maximize the economic benefits to their community, consistent with the need to attract and retain the exploration and development cap...

Practically in all domains of engineering activities and buisness good knowladge of economic problems is required, because it provides among other elements optimal decision making. In harmony with it microeconomic discipline engineering economicsis developing with high intesity, as in practically so also in practical sense. This discipline is getti...

There are a few hundred clays deposits in Republic Serbia and about 200 brickyards. Among geological-economic (industrial) types of clays the most important position hold the fire-ceramic and common (brick) clays, but of significant economic importance are some deposits of bentonite, kaolin, expanding clays and as well as sepiolite raw materials....
