Abstract

RTB has the significant mineral-raw materials base or the reserves of copper and gold, which allow the exploitation for several decades. The exploratory-mining fields of RTB are located within the Bor metallogenic zone, which is spatially and genetically coincides with the 'Timok Magmatic Complex' (TMK), and includes the areas of Bor, Cerovo, Majdanpek and Čoka Marin ore fields. The cost-effectiveness of copper ore reserves are in the functional dependence primarily of the copper price on the LME stock market, copper product demand, world production of copper and costs of copper ore valorization. By detailed explorations the insufficiently explored parts of deposits, introduction the new mining methods, modern technical-technological methods for copper preparation and processing, there is a possibility that the most of off-balance reserves would be transferred into the balance reserves. The trend of high prices of copper and gold also helps the reduction of limit content, which could led to a significant increase in the reserves of mineral resources.
