Abstract:
Despite the more than a hundred years long history of geological exploration and exploitation of iron ore, the Ljubija ore region continues to be a promising area for locating iron ore deposits. Detailed work on the development of a metallographic map, all the essential knowledge of geology and metallogeny of the terrain was re-examined and interpreted on the principles of contemporary sedimentological, tectonic and metalogenetic theories. The knowledge and legality of the ore genesis and geological evolution of the terrain, defined ore formations and possible models of the distribution of ore masses within certain mineralogical formations were determined. In further research, it is very important to take into account the metalogenetic factor of irregularities, which has been clearly identified for the first timefor this region. The arrangement of carbonate olistolytic bodies in an olistosstrom member is chaotic and hardly predictable, their size, shape, morphology, boundaries, workmanship and metal content are incorrect. Because of this, the ore bodies and deposits have no continuity in providing, as they were attributed to earlier interpretations.
