Abstract

In the bauxite-bearing area of Jajce (Bosnia & Herzegovina), exploitation of karst bauxite has occurred for more than 40 years, during which time extensive geological and mining research was also conducted. Here, the geological map of the Jajce bauxite bearing-area (Bosnia & Herzegovina) at a scale of 1:25.000 is presented, accompanied by a geological column and regional geological cross-sections. The map shows the main stratigraphic and tectonic features and positions of the bauxite deposits of the area. This research area covers 343 km2, divided into two structural units with four bauxite districts, Liskovica, Bešpelj, Crvene Stijene and Poljane. The Liskovica-Bešpelj structural unit is tectonically very complex, characterized by W-E trending structures in subvertical, vertical and overturned positions. The Crvene Stijene-Poljane structural unit is characterized by gentle folds and normal faults. The geological map summarizes all the available data and represents the necessary basis for further geological and mining research of the area.
