Description
Summary:Bor is otherwise a typical mining town, founded by the mine. Continued economic activity in the dominant area of extractive industry, related to the copper ore mining and processing, then for metallurgy and complementary industrial activities, what is of great importance for the town and the municipality. The northern part of the Timok magmatic complex and the Bor metallogenic zone, or the Bor mining region, covers the area in which the most significant ore fields are Bor, Veliki Krivelj Cerovo, Majdanpek, Blagojev Kamen and others. The largest technogenic formations were separated in the immediate vicinity of the Bor and Krivelj mine, and they are presented by formations originated by exploitation of mineral copper deposits (overburden) and mineral processing (flotation tailing dumps) in the immediate vicinity of Bor. Designed exploration works in the area of environmental inactive mining field were aimed to prepare the conditions for environment management, remediation of tailing dumps and landfills for disposal of mining waste in the Bor mining areas as well as the rehabilitation of ecological problems in the ore region of Bor. Exploration works included the study of the field: for disposal the tailings from Veliki Krivelj area of the Old Bor Tailing Dump (East), Saraka overburden dump, south-eastern overburden dump and RTH.
