Article History

Bor, city, eastern Serbia. Bor is the site of one of the largest copper mines in Europe, and it has been a mining centre since 1904, when a French company began operations there.

The city is situated on a road and railroad running southeast from Belgrade to Zaječar and Niš. The massive Bor Mining and Smelting Works (RTB Bor) produces copper, gold, silver, and, through the electrolytic refining of silver and gold, platinum and palladium as well. Nearby, at Veliki Krivelj, there is a large deposit of high-grade copper ore. Bor has a mining college and a mining museum. The town of Gamzigrad, with medieval remains, is nearby. Pop. (2002) 39,387; (2011) 34,160.
