The Malka Golaja deposit, rich in gold and copper, could transform Serbia into a key global mining hub

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.

With copper at an average grade of 1.87% and gold at 0.61 g/t, the find represents over 150 million tonnes of mineralized material.

Furthermore, the deposit remains open on its periphery, suggesting significant potential for further exploration.

This remarkable discovery is set to feature prominently in Zijin’s 2024 annual report, underlining its strategic role in expanding Serbia’s mining industry and boosting the country’s economic prospects.
