The Rogozna Gold and Base Metals Project, located in the Raška District of southern Serbia, is an exciting new acquisition for Strickland Metals Limited.
Situated within the globally significant Tethyan Metallogenic Belt, this project has the potential to become one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in Europe.
Covering approximately 184 km², Rogozna comprises four exploration licences and contains a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.44Moz Au Eq relating to two deposits, Shanac and Copper Canyon.
Rogozna mountain has a rich history of mining, dating back to Roman times when it was one of the key mining centers in the territory which is now Serbia.
In the 20th century, the Yugoslav Geological Survey discovered important reserves of Lead, Zinc and Silver Mineralisation on Rogozna, resulting in the development of the Crnac Mine in the late 1960s, with the mine still in operation today.
In recent decades, Rogozna has been systematically explored by several companies, including Freeport, Eldorado Gold and now Strickland Metals, resulting in the discovery of substantial reserves of silver, copper, and gold on Rogozna with deposits currently estimated around 40 tons of precious metals.
