Spatial distribution of geological resources in northwestern Serbia, Jadar block terrene, and its relation to tectonic structures

Abstract

This work presents new information about the interconnection between diverse geological resources and tectonic structures framing the Jadar block terrene. Deep fault zones are found to have been principal bearers of geothermal, thermo mineral and metallic ore resources. Increased bitumen and hydrocarbon concentrations in pre-Tertiary deposits, which may be potential oil/gas zones, are also associated with these areas.
