Mining in the Republic of Macedonia. Mining on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia dates back to Roman times (ⅲ c. The mining would be performed in the Turkish period of these spaces. The contemporary period of development of mining in the Republic of Macedonia is connected mainly for ⅹⅹ c. The first relevant data for research and exploitation of Rudy date from 1927. Then the English company Selotion Mines Ltd. He gets concessional right to the premises of today’s Slica and the mine Zletovo. Detailed geological researches, followed by mining investigative work, were carried out in the period from 1927 to 1939. The Zletovo mine was released in trial exploitation in 1940. From 1941 to 1945 By the German occupier from the mine Zletovo, the richest lead-zinc ores were taken in the highest horizons. After World War II, the Zletovo mine was reactivated in 1947. placed in continuous exploitation. Since then, so S “By 2002 Mines Zletovo were synonymous with mining in Macedonia. With funds from the mines Zletovo, the mines Bucim (1952), Sasa, Toranica were researched, and the research of nonmetals in shortness, parenting sulfur in plavs, etc. During this period, exploitation and chromins ores of Lojane, Rabovo and Radusa, as well as antimony ores in Lojane and Krstall (all today are closed). The intensity of geological research, which led to the opening of many metal mines and non-metals in the Republic of Macedonia, continues at the beginning of the second half of ⅹⅹ c. As a result of the conducted detailed geological research in 1962. With the exploitation, the Sasa mines, then the Iron Mines Damian, Demir Hisar, Timiste, and surveys were conducted with the Uran rebuits in Zletovska Reka (1962), and gave. The research of the copper ores has resulted in the opening of the mine Bucim (1979). At that time, surveys were carried out and the Fre-mine “Rzzenovo was done. The research continues in the 80 map, was researched in the 60th map of the prevalence of ore wealth in the Republic of Macedonia of the last century, which resulted in the opening of the mine of Toranica (1989). In parallel with the research and exploitation of metal ores, non-metallic ores. Then the mines of Sileks, Bentomak, Opalit, Pehcevo, Ograzden-Strumica, Mermeren Kombinat-Prilep, Silica-Gostivar, Svilare, Kukovski, etc. Intensive research and exploitation of 1970, also notices the energy raw materials in REK Bitola and REK Oslomej. In the period after 1990 A negative trend is developing and many mines were closed (all iron and 2002 all leaders mines). All mines are privatized and one part restarted as a result of the favorable metal prices on the world stock markets. Litt.: B.
