Association gathers most of the foreign and private domestic exploration and mining companies, and geological and mining consulting companies from Serbia. GRAS is founded to represent and advocate mining industry, provide coordination between mining companies from the private sector and other interested parties, to advance the general understanding, prominence, and future potential of the geo-mining industry in Serbia, introduce best practice in geo-mining regulation, improve government and public awareness of best practice to mining, cutting red tape, etc. Since founding, GRAS has had a proactive role in drafting mining law, with the final outcome of adoption of current mining law with security of tenure defined for the first time in Serbian mining history.

About Company
Rakita is a Serbian company, currently carrying out exploration activities in the Timok district of Eastern Serbia, near the town of Bor, and holds the exploration license for the Timok Project. Rakita is owned and operated through a joint venture between Nevsun Resources Ltd. and Freeport-McMoran Exploration Corporation. Nevsun is a mid-tier Canadian mining company.

The Main Focus
The main focus of activity for Rakita is the Timok Project, situated within the Brestovac-Metovnica Exploration license. The Čukaru Peki mineral deposit has been subdivided into two zones, the ‘Upper Zone’ and ‘Lower Zone’. Nevsun Resources holds a 100% interest in the Upper Zone, and is the operator. Following completion of a feasibility study on the Upper Zone, Nevsun will hold a 46% interest in the Lower Zone and Freeport will hold a 54% interest in the Lower Zone.

Project Location
The Project is located approximately 6 km south of the town of Bor, which is a regional administrative and mining centre approximately 245 km southeast of Belgrade, Serbia. The Project site is favourably located for mining infrastructure (road, rail, power, water) and close to the recently upgraded copper smelter complex in Bor.

Pre-feasibility study
Rakita is currently undertaking a pre-feasibility study on the Upper Zone, with the objective of evaluating this high-grade deposit for mining and processing of copper and gold ore. In parallel, exploration of the lower grade, but higher tonnage, Lower Zone mineralized zone is continuing.

Type of Project
The current studies are indicating the potential for an underground mine on the Upper Zone to a depth of 450 m to 850 m below ground surface.
Access to the Upper Zone will be through an inclined tunnel or ‘decline’, which will initially serve as an exploration decline for the purpose of confirming the viability of the Upper Zone. The decline would most likely be comprised of two parallel tunnels. The first tunnel would ultimately be used for access, and the second one for ventilation. Each tunnel is currently designed to be approximately 5 m wide and 5 m high, but this remains a work in progress.

UK Mining Team: Realising shareholder value

Whether it’s pre-investment due diligence or progressing a project through the early stages of development, the UK Mining Team is focused on helping their clients realise the maximum potential value of their mining assets.

We track our performance in three ways:

1. We work closely with the London finance market to help understand each projects key financial requirements.
2. We work to exacting client requirements to deliver each project utilising a dedicated team comprising UK Project Managers and specific experts from our Global Mining Practice.
3. We track the market reaction to results published by our clients for studies and reports produced by our project teams.

UK Mining Team: Project Management Excellence

We have a unique approach to project management that has proved successful time and time again. Every project that we work on has resulted in the desired outcome for our client teams including:

• Achieving funding for the next stage in the project.
• Merger or acquisition of the project.
• Progression of the project to construction.
We achieve this through our inclusive style that listens closely to the client’s management team and then acts as a central project coordinator and through this process we maintain three key ingredients that drive our team’s excellence. Namely:
• Integrity within our services to ensure compliance to mining code standards.
• Adherence to tight time schedules.
• Delivering each project either on or under budget.
