Metallogenic map of the Republic of Srpska represents the basis for assesing the ore potential and prospect of particular territory in order to increase the degree of economy and effectiveness of future geological researches metallic and non-metallic mineral raw materials and solid fossil fuels of the Republic of Srpska. The basis for preparation of this Metallogenic Map is the Formational Geological Map of the same scale which was created on the basis of the Basic Geological Map of SFRY 1:100 000, the Geological Map of the Republic of Srpska 1:300 000, the Map of Mineral Resources 1:300 000 and the archive of the Geological Survey of the Republic of Srpska. There is also the Interpreter for this map.
The Metallogenic Map of the Republic of Srpska 1:300 000 and its accompanying Interpreter were developed in accordance with the Long-Term Program for the Development of Basic Geological Research of the Republic of Srpska. For the creation of the Metallogenic Map of the Republic of Srpska 1:300 000 the Manual was used, which prescribed guidelines for the graphical representation of zones of spatial distribution of metallogenic or mineralogenic units. As outlined in the Manual, the creation of the Metallogenic Map of the Republic of Srpska 1:300 000 was conducted in three phases: The first phase involved data collection, synthesis, and analysis, the second phase pertained to the production of the graphical part of the map, while the third phase encompassed the development of the Interpreter for the Metallogenic Map of the Republic of Srpska 1:300 000.
