Mineco Mines

Base metal mines in Serbia & Bosnia:

• Rudnik
  Located in central Serbia Rudnik was acquired through privatisation in 2004. Producing lead (with silver grades), zinc and copper Rudnik processes some 250,000 tpa.
   
• Gross
  Situated in Eastern Bosnia & Herzegovina, Gross was awarded the concession to operate the Sase mine in 2005. With 6.7 million tonnes of reserves and a further 20 million tonnes of resources Gross is Mineco’s biggest mine.
   
• Veliki Majdan
  Located in Western Serbia, 10 kilometres from Gross mine, Veliki Majdan was acquired from liquidation in 2007 with production restarted in 2010. Whilst a smaller mine than either Rudnik or Gross, the very high silver grades support continued investment into this operation.
   

• Bosilegrad
  A polymetallic lead and zinc mine, located near the border to Bulgaria and Macedonia, approximately 400km from Belgrade. The project was re-started in 2017 and with over 2 million tonnes of reserves, the production is expected to increase to 240,000 tpa.
   
• Olovo
  Approximately a 50 minute drive from Sarajevo, the Olovo project is a monomineralic narrow vein lead deposit, hosted in triassic carbonates. Mining production started in 2018 and the processing facility was constructed in 2019.
