My company Hristov Consulting has organized press trip for journalists from Serbia and I worked on public relations for the event “Mining Geology Forum Srebrenica 2015” in Bosnia an Hercegovina for my clients Mineco Ltd and Gross d.o.o.
There were media from both Bosnia and Serbia. We had 85 media coverages after the event.
The forum was opened by Petar Đokić, Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining of Republika Srpska. The organizer is the company Gross that manages the Sase mine and whose majority owner is my client the British company Mineco Limited.
At the opening of the forum, British ambassador Edward Ferguson said: “It is satisfying to see an example of how the British investor Mineco achieves success in the field through excellence in management”, said Ferguson, adding that Mineco is currently investing USD 4.5 million in increasing production at Sase alone.
In his view, Mineco’s involjvment in the mines of B&H positions the UK as the second largest investor in the country after Russia.
At the opening of the Forum Minister Đokić also commended Mineco’s commitment to investment in Republika Srpska’s mining industry and its overall development.
“We have vast unexploited mineral resources and great potential for the development of the mining industry in Republika Srpska. The Government will therefore continue to support such investments”, said Đokić.
Dominic Roberts, COO of Mineco Ltd., said that the company intends to continue investing in B&H and Serbia, since this region is rich in mineral resources and non-ferrous metals.
He added that all the company’s mines use the latest technology and that all investment is accompanied by investment in environmental protection, at the level of the highest European standards.
Besides being majority owner of the Gross mine Sase, Mineco is also working on the rehabilitation of the lead mine in Olovo in the Federation of B&H, while in Novo Goražde they are investing in prospecting for antimony deposits.
In Serbia, Mineco is the majority owner of the Veliki Majdan lead and zinc mine, the zinc mine near Gornji Milanovac and the Bosilegrad lead and zinc mine, which is currently undergoing infrastructure works.
