Kosovo is known for its underground wealth, especially gold and silver. Gold is one of the minerals that enriches the underground of Kosovo. A British company has announced that 640 thousand tons of gold are found outside of Pristina.

The British mining research company Western Tethyan Resources announces that there are 640 thousand tons of gold in the village of Slivovo.

According to the announcement, this area suspected to have gold is about 20 kilometers from Prishtina.

“The main zone at Slivova has an inferred resource of 640 kt [640 thousand tonnes] or 4.8 g/t gold for 98,700 ounces,” the company’s report said.

The managing director of WTR, Mentor Demi stated that the company’s approach has confirmed the potential for the gold project in this space.

“We are very pleased with the successful completion of the business assessment at the Slivova gold project and with the preparations for entering into the definitive benefit agreement with Avrupa Minerals. Our systematic approach to mining research and development has resulted in confirmation of resources with economic potential and confirmation of exploration potential for the Slivova gold project. We look forward to providing new announcements regarding the VPE study for the project, along with other research results, in the near future.”

The conceptual study of the Slivova project completed during the business evaluation phase has suggested a potential for a small mine with good management options for exploitation, processing and waste management.
