Economic applicability and value of jewelry minerals, metallic and precious resources in Kosovo and Metohija

Abstract

This research referes to the estimates of economic usability and value of jewelry minerals, metallic and precious resources in Kosovo and Metohija. In this regard, there is a great economic interest in already proven exploitable and profitable investments in the target mines and deposits of Trepca, Goles, but also in the deposits of Crepulja, Malisevo near Prizren, Slivovo etc. To the contrary, we have insufficiently known and explored jewelry minerals-raw materials. Therefore, the common opinion and estimation of geologists and gemologists is supported that there is a significant interest of foreign investors in the mineral raw materials and that those investors in jewelry minerals-raw materials which are evidently found among the deposits in Kosovo and Metohija that have already been explored or are insufficiently explored, are to be encouraged. It is certain that there is an evident mineral and jewelry wealth that is still unused a great extant.
