Primary raw materials business opportunities (RESEERVE West Balkan Mineral Register):

− Development of the Mačkatica Mo ore and the Čukaru Peki – Lower zone Cu ore (midterm, 0-10 years): Identification of reserves per commodity; Investigate processing; Conducting market and feasibility studies.

− Development (short – mid- and long-term goals, 0-20 years) of other sectors supporting extraction and processing activities in areas with very high business opportunities potential such as future exploitation of Au, Cu, the borates-Li and the Mo ore deposits, like machinery suppliers, consulting agencies, constructive companies, testing facilities, etc.
