Šuplja Stijena Lead-Zinc Deposits — 2026 Concession Context Rockhounding Status & Field Guide

Montenegro’s Ministry of Energy and Mining launched a 2026 concession process for detailed geological exploration and exploitation of lead and zinc at Šuplja Stijena and associated Pljevlja deposits, and selected a preferred bidder in August 2026. The map therefore uses only a regional municipality reference, not an industrial mine coordinate.
