Mineral resources as natural resources constitute the backbone of the development of the national economy of each country, and their valorization should be classified into its strategic development plans. Polyvalent industrial branches of the economy today are unthinkable without adequate supply of raw materials, analysis of raw material base, their preparation and processing, technology of breeding and possible application.
Due to the geological structure of the municipality of Gračanica, carbonate raw materials are one of the most important non-metallic mineral raw materials. In the territory of the municipality of Gračanica there are numerous areas with deposits of carbonate raw materials (architectural and constructional and technical-construction stone), among which the "Sklop" deposit occupies the most important place. This paper presents the geological characteristics, types of carbonate raw materials, deposits, reserves, quality and potentiality.
