EPS Planning Expansion of Open-Pit Mine Drmno for Capacities of 12 Million Tons of Coal – Tender for Geological Exploration Works Opened

Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) has opened the tender for geological exploration works in the function of the expansion of the Open-Pit Mine Drmno for capacities of 12 million tons of coal. This is a continuation of the works, and the value has been estimated at RSD 151.6 million.

According to the technical documentation, during the exploitation of coal at the Open-Pit Mine Drmno in the past few years, numerous technical and technological problems have occurred. This primarily pertains to the increased depth of the occurrence of coal layers, their increased delamination, the nearing of the mine to the Danube and the greater water content of the mine levels and the reduced stability of the mine slopes.

– The aim and the purpose of these explorations is to create the necessary conditions for the preparation of the next Study of the coal reserves which will serve for the preparation of the mining project and investment documentation for the further works on the mine – the documentation says.

The exploration boring is planned for a period of two consecutive years.

Bids may be sent by January 15, and more details (in Serbian) can be found HERE.
