Bosnia and Herzegovina released a public invitation for submitting offers for allocation of the concession for exploitation of the mineral resources of bauxite at the site of Jasenjani in Mostar.
The reserves of bauxite ore at the site on Žovnica have been estimated at 19.000 metric tons and besides Zovnica,deposits of bauxite have been also registered at Jasenjani near Drežnica.
The so called “pocket” type of deposit is found in karst cavities of Upper Cretaceous limestone. The content of Al2O3 in the ore is 47%.
The site on Jasenjani also contains pocket deposits of bauxite ore in karst cavities of the Upper Cretaceous limestone. The thickness of deposit is 0.6-25.7 m.The reserves have been estimated at 35.000 metric tons. The content of Al2O3 is 46.5%.
Further geological exploration is necessary to determine the exact quantities of ore and the economic justification of exploitation, officials of Bosnia noted in a statement.
