that owns the Lece gold-lead-zinc mine, located in the southern town of Medvedja.\nThe auction will be held with a base price of 4 billion dinars<em>(approximately <\/em><em> $34 million<\/em>).\nThis sale process will take place on August 26, according to the statement issued by the agency last Friday.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The great auction for the Lece mine<\/h2>\n\n<p>To participate in the auction, interested parties must make a deposit of 500 million dinars by August 23 and submit the required documentation by August 26.\nAssets to be auctioned include buildings, land and equipment related to mineral production and processing. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Farmakom MB mining company, valued at 8.1 billion dinars, filed for bankruptcy in 2017.\nMiroslav Bogicevic, the company&#8217;s former owner, stated in 2010 that chemical analyses performed on <strong><a

noopener\">lead concentrate<\/a> from the Lece mine<\/strong>, indicated the possibility of this mine becoming the largest in Europe in gold production.\nAccording to Bogicevic, the mine&#8217;s lead concentrate contained up to 160 grams of gold per ton.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Last 2019, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic mentioned that the Serbian government was considering negotiating with China&#8217;s Zijin Mining Group to take over the <strong>operation of the Lece mine<\/strong>.\nZijin Mining Group had established a strategic alliance with Serbia in 2018, when it became a partner in the RTB Bor copper complex, committing to invest \u20ac1.16 billion in exchange for a 63% stake. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our
