Abstract
Dimension and construction stone is one of the most significant non-metallic mineral raw material in Montenegro. There are numerous carbonate deposits in Montenegro (dimension and construction stone), either investigated or in exploitation, including the Bjelopavlići area which occupies the most significant place. Formation-mineragenic analysis of the carbonate sediments of the Bjelopavlići area revealed several formations of carbonate raw materials, including Jovanovići formation, as a new formation of dimension and construction stone in Montenegro. The paper presents the results of a multiyear formation-mineragenic analysis in the Bjelopavlići area, and the results of detailed geological exploration of the Jovanovići deposit of dimension and construction stone, calculated reserves, qualitative characteristics, possibility of their application and potential. The paper pays special attention to the examination of their sedimentological, biostratigraphic, and physico-mechanical characteristics. Results show that limestones of this formation type can be used as dimension stone. Also, the paper provides a brief overview of chemical, geochemical, and technological properties of these limestones with the possibility of their usage as a carbonate filler in various branches of industry.
