Čukaru Peki is a world-class copper-gold mine in Bor, Serbia, comprising an Upper Zone and a Lower Zone. The Upper Zone contains high-grade copper-gold ore lumps, while the Lower Zone is an ultra-large porphyry copper deposit.

In addition to Čukaru Peki, Zijin Mining operates another world-class copper asset in Serbia, the Bor Copper Mine. Their combined output was 240,000 tonnes of copper in 2023, making Zijin the second-largest copper miner in Europe.

The two mines in Serbia are undergoing de-bottlenecking and expansion, scheduled for completion by 2025. Once complete, their combined production capacity is expected to reach 300,000 tonnes per annum.
