MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE SISAK REGION, CROATIA

U ovom radu, na osnovi autorovih znanstvenih saznanja, po prvi puta se daju detaljno kronostratigrafsko i genetsko razvrstavanje svih poznatih mineralnih sirovina u oblasti središnje Hrvatske (Sisak, Petrinja, Glina, Dvor na Uni, Hrvatska Kostajnica i Novska). Opisane su metalne i nemetalne sirovine, građevinski materijali, ugljen, nafta, plin, kao i voda za piće, liječenje i industriju, vezane prostorno i/ili genetski na gornjo-paleozojske, mezozojske i kenozojske naslage. Uzimajući u obzir dosadašnji stupanj istraženosti, obujam ranije eksploatacije kao i genetski potencijal svake sirovine, autor daje ocjenu njihove perspektive za ekonomiju Hrvatske.In the paper, on the basis of the author\u27s knowledge, for the first time, chronostratigraphic and genetic classification of all known mineral resources located in the central part of Croatia (Sisak, Petrinja, Glina, Dvor na Uni, Hrvatska Kostajnica and Novska), is given in more detail. Metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources, coal, oil, gas as well as drinking water, water for balneology and industry related spatially and/or genetically with the Upper Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits, are presented. Taking into consideration the present days level of research, the past extent of the exploitation as well as genetic potential of each own estimate of their long term prospects with regard to the economy of the Croatia
