Abstract

In Bajska locality are used geochemical methods in regional
geology research in order to determine the weathering crust on ultrabasics
massife. Study locality belong Mitrovica topographic planschettes, southern parts of Albanik (Kopaonik). This locality is a part of ophfiolite Vardar zone and represents the northern sides of the Kosovo territory. These studies have given result on the
existence the appearance of Nickel silicate ores and appearance of Ni, Pb, Cu
and other sulphide mineralization the genesis of which is related to basic and
ultramaphite rocks.  Samples are taken in
flow river Bajska also in the surroundings of the monastery Bajska, Lozna, Jelakce
and Raic Breg area. In each locality were taken from 30 samples in total 120.  From the samples taken by contacting the red
series and serpentinite are obtained results that range from 1.4-2.2% Ni.
Spectrochemical analyses 96% of the total samples have determined that the
average of Ni content ranges 0.16-1.0 % Ni. The paper aims
to determine
the potential
places for detailed geology
research which will enable finding new structural
metalogeny zones with mineral deposits of
nickel silicate in
Kosovo territory.
