TOPIC: “United Nations Reconnaisance Geochemical Survey, Montenegro, Yugoslavia” A regional stream sediment survey and other geochemical investigations were carried out over 6500 sq. km. in NE Montenegro within the metalliferous (Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag) Dinaric Alpine Province. The area is one of complex geology, topography and drainage with occurrences of sulphide mineralisation associated with middle Triassic volcanism.
