Ore deposit type - Porphyry.Majdanpek porphyry copper deposit represents one of the largest copper reserve in Serbia. It is located in the northern part of the Timok Magmatic Complex (TMC), which is a part of a geologicalframework that includes the Alpine – Balkan – Carpathian - Dinaride metallogenic - geodynamic province also referred to as the Carpatho - Balkan Magmatic Belt. The TMC complex in a lozenge shaped belt, almost 100 km in length in the direction north-south, up to 25 km of width, with a total area of around 1130 sq. km. The Majdanpek deposit, with an average width of 300 m, is approximately 5 km in length. Weak copper mineralization (>0.1% Cu) was detected to a depth of at least 1 km. This deposit consists of porphyry copper-gold deposit with associated replacement deposits (skarns, mantos) and highsulphidation epithermal massive-enargite (gold) sulphide deposits [10]. Mineralization typically occurs in a form of stockworks, within the metamorphic aureole of the andesitic dykes.This deposit includes two major mining areas, i.e. two different copper deposits: North Revir and South Revir. Both deposits are studied and described in detail by Armstrong et al. (2005). South Revir is the largest deposit with significant mineralization and copper occurrence, the Cu-Au rich massive Knez Lazar body and a number of contact skarns. The second copper deposit "North Revir" contains three ore bodies: 1) Porphyry ore bodies: "Central ore body" and "Dolovi", 2) Cu pyrite ore bodies: "Dolovi 2" and "Stari Dušan" and 3) Polymetallic ore body Tenka. According to the Armstrong et al. (2005), it is characterized by the presence of polymetallic Pb Zn rich limestone with several smaller porphyry copper ore bodies.
