The attendees visited the premises of Eastern Mining where they were introduced to the activities of this company in the municipality of Vareš, the mode of operation and the latest methods used. “This was a very important visit for students because they do not have the opportunity to see such a high-quality approach to exploring mineral deposits”, said Professor Hrvatovic.

We are proud that Eastern Mining has both domestic and international experts in this area as well as a group of young geologists who have the opportunity to work and learn." said Mr Bošnjakovic.

Numerous student's questions and a demonstrated interest in employment in the international team of geologists are indicators that this visit fulfilled their expectations.
