This discovery represents a significant step in the exploration and exploitation of precious metals in the region.

Gold mining in Serbia has a long and rich tradition. From the 13th to the 15th century, mining had great economic importance, especially after Saxons started migrating here in mid-13th century. In that period, ores of lead, copper, iron, silver and, to a lesser extent, gold were mined in the territory of Serbia.

Location and significance of Malka Golaja

Malka Golaja is located in the east of the country, within the Timok metallogenetic belt, known for its wealth of mineral resources. This area has long been recognized as a mining region, with numerous deposits of copper and gold.

Although the details about the Malka Golaja site itself are limited, it is known that the company Malka Golaja Mining d.o.o., based in Zajecar, was formed on December 6, 2024, with the main activity of mining ferrous, non-ferrous, precious and other metal ores.

Gold mines around the world and comparative analysis

Globally, the largest gold mines are located in countries such as China, Australia, Russia and the United States. Mines in Indonesia and in Uzbekistan are known for their huge deposits and production of gold. Compared to them, the sites in Serbia are smaller in scale, but still significant at the regional level.

Current exploitation of gold in Serbia

In addition to the newly discovered deposits at Malka Golaja, there are other significant sites in Serbia. The best knwn are on mountains Rudnik, Avala, Kopaonik, as well as in the vicinity of Uzice and Cacak. These deposits are related to eruptive rocks (primary) and river flows (secondary).

The discovery of Malka Golaja further confirms Serbia's potential in the field of precious metal mining and opens up new opportunities for economic development and investments in this sector.
