Ore reserves at Borska Reka underground site worth USD 30 billion – Zijin preparing for exploitation
Data show that the site contains explored and determined geological reserves of 320 million tons of the ore, guaranteeing a 50-year exploitation period. However, it is assumed that Borska Reka in fact contains more than a billion tons of ore, with an average content of 1% copper, nearly three times as much as the RTB mines that are currently exploited.
The Borska Reka site, whose activation requires an investment of at least EUR 150 million, has so far been explored only up to the depth of 450 meters. The site is assumed to widen as the depth increases, along with a growing content of copper and noble metals.
Confirmation by the World Bank
The attractiveness of Borska Reka as a site, which resembles the underground copper mine Cukaru Peki in its mineral composition, is also shown by the fact that, in 2002, the World Bank, before opening the first tender for the sale of RTB Bor, published a study according to which the future of local mining should be based on exploring and exploiting this site.
