Sažetak
The area of Mount Zrin (Zrinska gora) is built of sedimentary, igneous, ultramafic and metamorphic rocks, with a chronostratigraphic range from the Paleozoic to the Quaternary. The main deposits and occurrences of metals are related to the border area of the Mt. Zrin and the Mt.Trgovi (Trgovska gora) on the stretch Gvozdansko - Trgovi on both sides of the stream Žirovac (Pikija et al. 2010: 33). The prevailing opinion is that the iron, copper, lead and barite deposits and phenomena of the Mt. Trgovi are of the Upper Paleozoic age and that they belong to the Hercynian metallogenic epoch. They were formed in the marine environment, and the mineralization was related to submarine volcanism (Jurković 1988: 369–393). Based on the analysis of galena samples, it follows that the mineralization process occurred later in relation to the original rocks, i.e. by epigenetic mechanism, magmatic activities in the Triassic (early Mesozoic) that began in the Permian (late Paleozoic) (Palinkaš 1985: 175). The Paleozoic of the Mt. Trgovi is a northwestern continuation of the much larger and metallogenetically more important Una-Sana Paleozoic, an area located between the towns of Bosanski Novi, Prijedor and Sanski Most. In the Paleozoic of this area, south and east of the town of Prijedor, there are the largest deposits of iron ore - Ljubija and Tomašica (Jurković 1988: 373). Figure 1 shows the position of the Mt. Trgovi and Northwestern Bosnia in relation to the city of Sisak. Geologically speaking, the unique area consisting of the Mt. Trgovi and Northwestern Bosnia, as well as significant deposits of iron ore and intensive iron production in this area in ancient times, were the motive for writing this paper. Mining and metallurgical activities in this area are described, which were related to the wars of conquest that were fought in these areas, but also to changes in the Roman administration, and to the construction of roads and settlements
