Total number of nineteen mafic extrusive rock samples is subjected to the detailed optical examination. Based on definition of mineral composition, structure, texture, type and intensity of alteration processes, and taking into consideration the recent classification schemes, different lithotypes are defined. The most frequent are spilites distingu...

Qualitative characteristics of bauxite deposit „Oštrelj“ are defined through extensive laboratory testing of chemical and mineralogical-petrographic composition, and geomechanical characteristics. Chemical composition has shown that it is a relative poor bauxite with low Al/Si module (2,28). Low values of Al/Si module are result of lower Al2O3 conc...
