Suspended underground lead and zinc mine.
The Hajvalia mine is one of the largest lead and zinc mines in Kosovo. The mine has reserves amounting to 0.723 million tonnes of ore grading 9.65% lead, 18.26% zinc, and 126.4gr/t silver, thus resulting 69800 tonnes of lead, 132000 tonnes of zinc, and 91 tonnes of silver.
Ore deposit type: Pb-Zn-Ag skarns and stratiform mantos: Pb, Zn, Ag, (Au)
The ore lenses contain 6-7% Zn, 4-5% Pb and 70-100 g/t Ag.
Massive ore bodies are estimated 7-8% Pb, 15% Zn, 100 g/t Ag, 0.8 g/t Au, 1-2% As and 0.2 % Cu
ITT/UNMIK Mission (12/2000) : Past production (1952-1998) : 2,622,000 t @ 5.0% Pb, 7.3% Zn and 65 g/t Ag. Resources : 1,017,000
t @ 8.4% Pb, 16.4% Zn and 70 g/t Ag. The mine is flooded up to Level 8A (320 m).
