Abstract
The abandoned Lojane Mine Site and associated processing facilities are located north of city of Kumanovo on the territory of Lipkovo municipality. The old Lojane Mine Site is located between the villages Lojane, Vaksince in area called Rudnicka Kolonija (Mine colony). The total mine site area is about 10 km2. The exploration area includes the territory between the village Chivluk where the old smelter is located, i.e. the flotation tailings from the Lojane Mine, along the flow of Tabanovska river to the village of Gorno Konjare. In Lojane abandoned mine, huge amount of mining waste was left without any adjustment and remediation, leading to mass erosion and transport of waste over large distance in the watershed. Chemical analysis of this waste showed high contamination by toxic heavy metals, while t he leachate of waste leads to the river sediments and waters contamination.
