Trepča Mines

The Trepça Mines (Albanian: Miniera e Trepçës, Serbian: Рудник Трепча, romanized: Rudnik Trepča) is a large industrial complex in Kosovo, located 9 km (5.6 mi) northeast of Mitrovica. The mine is located on the southern slopes of the Kopaonik mountain, between the peaks of Crni Vrh (1,364 m (4,475 f

t)) and Majdan 1,268 m (4,160 ft), and it is Europe's largest lead-zinc and silver ore mine. With up to 23,000 employees, Trepça was once one of the biggest companies in Yugoslavia. In the 1930s, the Selection Trust gained the rights to exploit the Stari Trg mine close to Mitrovica. After World War II, under socialist self-management of Yugoslavia, the company further expanded.
