In a groundbreaking announcement, Zijin Mining, in partnership with EMX Royalty, has uncovered a vast new mineral deposit in Serbia.

Located seven kilometers southeast of the renowned Čukaru Peki mine, the Malka Golaja site holds extraordinary promise.

Estimated to contain a staggering 92 tonnes of gold and nearly 3 million tonnes of copper, the discovery is poised to redefine the region’s mining potential.
