Research Results on Possibilities for Development and Mining of 'Borska Reka' Ore Body in Bor Ore Deposit

摘要

Massive copper ore deposits occur in the Eastern Serbia. Bor ore deposit, with many ore bodies, has been exploited for 105 years. Underground mining has been present all the time, while surface mining lasted for about 80 years. Extraction of active ore bodies is coming to an end. In the mean time, ore body "Borska Reka" has been explored. This ore body is situated beneath lo-west levels in Jama Bor underground mine and it is so massive that it could carry out the future of copper ore mining in Bor ore deposit. Some considerations on extraction of ore from this ore body are given in this paper.
