Objavy baní v katastroch obcí bez známej rudnej banskej činnosti v pohorí Malé Karpaty

Abstract

In terms of the occurrence of ore resources the Small Carpathians were of a great importance in Slovakia. A systematic search helped to discover the remains of mining in the territory of three municipalities without known ore mining activity. Only exploratory mines have been found in the municipalities of Horné Orešany and Chtelnica. There was apparently also extraction in some mines in Lošonec. It is the subject of further investigation from what period the mines come from and what ore was sought or extracted in them. The territory of Horné Orešany is promising for further discoveries of mining objects.
