Spatial plan of Montenegro until 2020 - Ada Bojana

Deposit Krute near Ulcinj has reserves of A+B+C 1 category of about 1,000,000 m 3 andestimated reserves of over 5,000,000 m 3 .In fund documentation it is stated that the reserves of decorative stone of A+B+C 1 category(with smaller part of reserves B+C 1 or C 1 ) of about 15,000,000 m 3 of monoliths, and estimatedat 50,000,000 m 3 .Travertine – Familiar deposits are: Tavani, Zukva, Gornja lijeska and Zbljevo.Tavani (river Bukovica) has proven reserves of 275,000 m 3 of rock masses, of which 116,000m 3 are blocks.Gornja lijeska (west of Tomaševo) with reserves of C 1 category 94,000 m 3 of rock masses andperspective reserves are estimated at 150,000 m 3 .Deposit Zukva is exploited and deposit Zbljevo is not economically significant.Technical-building stone – The amounts of technical-building stone in the terrains ofMontenegro are practically unlimited. These are carbonates: limestone-dolomite rock massesand smaller volcanic rocks.In the terrains of Montenegro there are numerous abandoned stone mines. Today, 17 quarries(mines) are operational 12 (twelve) on the Montenegrin coast- Volujica Goran, Velji zabio,Možura – Orlovo, Borik II, Darza, Ristova ponta, Haj-Nehaj, Velja Spilja, Oblatno, Platac,Lješevići – Gajevi, Podi; Midova kosa – Budoš in central region and Kaluñerski laz, Bušnje iŠtitarica in the northern part of Montenegro. Only in Štitarica (Mojkovac) igneous rocks areexploited while the rest is limestone.Technical-building stone has been researched in 19 locations. The overall reserves ofcarbonate rocks of A+B+C 1 or B+C 1 category are 38 million tons, and of volcanic rocks only665,000 m 3 .Pebbles and sand – Pebbles and sand are exploited from numerous deposits of glacial,fluviglacial, lumniglacial, deluvial and alluvial origin.Sand and pebbles of glacial origin are being exploited from a number of sites by the roads onkarst surface on the territory of municipalities of Žabljak, Šavnik and Plužine. Pebbles and sandof fluviglacial origin are exploited from fields in karst: Nikšićko, Grahovsko, Dragaljsko etc andfrom Zeta plain, lumniglacial from Bjelopavlici plain. Occasionally, rough sand and pebbles fromcrushers – rock creeps (deluvian) are used along the roads, as for example Nalježići (Kotor).The most significant and mostly used deposits of pebbles and sand are of alluvial origin: coastalfields (seas) and river beds of: Morača, Tara, Lim and Ćehotina.Brick clays – The greatest reserves of brick clay are in freshwater neogenic sediments ofĆehotina river valley and Lim. Besides these, occurrences and deposits of alluvial origin areknown (around Kolašin, Bijelo polje, Spuž, Tivat and Ulcinj). The extent of researches is small.In deposits of Pljevlja basin reserves of B+C 1 and C 1 category count dozens of millions of tonsand perspective ones of several hundred million tons. In deposit of Jesikovac reserves B+C 1 are1.3 and perspective ones 2.1 million tons.Deposits of brick clays, of alluvial origin, of B+C 1 and C 1 category are around 15 million tonsand perspective ones are about 5 million tons.Cement marl – Cement marl is found in coal-bearing basins in Ćehotina and Lim river valleysand in parts of the terrain built of paleogenic flysh sediments: Bjelopavlici, Crmnica onMontenegrin coast (surroundings of Ulcinj).The most thoroughly researched and tested marl is from deposit of Ćehotina river valley: thesurroundings of Pljevlja (Potrlica, Kalušići, Rabitlje, Grevo and Radosavac). Reserves ofA+B+C 1 category are calculated at 93 million tons, (for 12 years that raw material has beenexploited for Cement plant in Pljevlja which does not work today). In other noted deposits ofĆehotina river valley, overall reserves are estimated at 28.3 million of tons. Paleogenic reservesof marl from Gradina (Bjelopavlici) are around 30 million of tons and deposits of Donja Kleznanear Ulcinj are estimated at about 20 million of tons.25
