Golesh Explained

Golesh (pronounced as /sh/) is a mountain in central Kosovo, 10190NaN0 high, near the town of Kosovo Polje and Pristina International Airport Adem Jashari.

A branch of the Drenica River originates on the mountain. At the top, there is an FM/TV broadcasting centre.

The mountain contains the world's largest vein magnesite deposit, with total reserves of around five million tonnes; mining began in 1923.[1] The Goleš mine was one of the largest magnesite mines in the country.[2] It was shut down in early 2002.[3]
