Trepča Mines, Lead and zinc mine in Кишница, Serbia.
The Trepča mining complex extends across mountain slopes at 1230 meters elevation, containing an extensive network of underground tunnels and processing facilities.
The British Selection Trust established Trepča Mines Limited in London during 1930, initiating large-scale operations that transformed regional mineral extraction methods.
The mines shaped generations of local communities, providing employment for 23,000 workers and establishing a strong mining tradition in the Kosovo District.
Visitors need special permits to access the mining complex, and guided tours provide information about mineral extraction processes and industrial heritage.
The mine's geological formations yielded exceptional specimens of vivianite, ludlamite, and sphalerite, contributing to mineralogical collections worldwide until 1999.
