ZLATO – ložiská v Kosove?

Takže "nezávislosť" krajiny bude aj dobrou príležitosťou pre západne ťažobné spoločností k vylepšeniu si svojich bilancií ziskov....

Last week Lydian International Ltd. a diversified U.K. mineral exploration and development company announced positive results from soil and trench sampling from its Rahovec project in Kosovo. The initial soil-sampling program indicated potentially significant gold deposits.


The soil-sampling program also returned significant results for Nickel and Cobalt too. Located in Eastern Kosovo, the project is known to contain sulphide Ni-Co-Cu mineralisation, which is thought to be similar to deposits seen in Western Australia and Northern Canada. The area also has potential for Cr-(PGE) mineralisation and bauxite.

Gold

Mineral exploration has been ongoing in the region for the past two years now and according to the International Herald Tribune: “Kosovo likewise has significant natural resources, including some of the largest lignite coal deposits in Europe. There are also reserves of lead, zinc, uranium, silver…and copper.”


All of which may explain why major European powers backed calls for an independent Kosovo, foremost among the U.K.


This was probably no coincidence for it was a British mineral exploration company that was responsible for the soil testing. Did they refer their findings to the British government and did they promise to back calls for an independent Kosovo in return for preferential treatment for British companies exploiting Kosovo’s mineral deposits?


If so it’s another example of how big money and government now work hand-in-hand. With political decisions being determined by profit as much as anything else.
