Belgrade School of Mining and Geology Dean Biljana Abolmasov said on Aug. 15 that the exploitation of Jadarite could meet the need for this ore and the necessary protection of the environment, although only by meeting very strict criteria primarily the necessary legislation.
She told the NIN weekly in an interview that the Ministry could supervise the project using modern monitoring systems, which enabled information in real time about everything from soil subsidence, to the pollution of the air, soil and water.
"Today there are sensors linked to satellites which enable you to know everything that is going on at every moment. They cost money, but are worth it," Abolmasov said.
Asked what the greatest challenges of Jadar project were, she said that "the biggest problem is waste, or the tailings that are left after extracting lithium i.e. lithium carbonate and boron from the ore itself."
