Sustainable Development and Systems for Management of Mining Sector in Albania

Generally speaking, the structure of Albanides is divided in two large structural regions — inner Albanides and outer Albanides. Each of these regions manifests peculiar geological, tectonic and metallogenic characteristics. In the geological structuring of Albanides participates the old sediment of the Palaeozoic with a limited spreading, developing mainly in the eastern parts. The sediment of Mesozoic, mainly composed of carbonates, spreading to the south-western, central, and northern parts of Albania, has a greater development.
