An interview from CorD magazine with Vesna Prodanović, General Manager of Rio Sava Exploration d.o.o.

Rio Tinto has disclosed to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) a maiden ore reserve and updated mineral resource at the 100%-owned Jadar lithium-borates project in western Serbia.

Rio Tinto has approved an additional investment of almost $200 million to progress the next stage of the development of the lithium-borate Jadar project in Serbia. 

As part of its community investment support, Rio Tinto has allocated EUR 40,000 in solidarity with the government of Serbia and Serbian citizens to fight the COVID-19 outbreak.

Rio Tinto has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Serbia in respect to the implementation of the Jadar Project.

Included in Rio Tinto’s annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves tables, released to the market today as part of its 2016 annual report, are increases in Mineral Resources for Rio Tinto’s 100%-owned Jadar Lithium and Borates Mineral Project in Jadar, Serbia.

Rio Sava was faced with a dilemma. The 3D seismic survey was due to start in April but much of the proposed drilling site was underwater after two particularly wet winters.

As part of Rio Sava’s community engagement programme, Rio Sava staff members have visited local elementary schools to talk about their work. For geologist Ana Arifovic, going on these visits is one of the things she enjoys most about her job.
