2020-2023, principal investigator of the project VEGA 1/0313/20 „Genesis of precious metal epithermal and porphyry mineralisations in the stratovolcanoes Štiavnica and Javorie“.

The project deals with the conditions of origin and genesis of two most important types of precious metal mineralisation in Slovakia that have a real economic importance. Completion of their current level of knowledge in terms of genesis can significantly help in exploration and mining of these ores. The epithermal vein Au-Ag deposit Banská Hodruša at the Rozália mine is the only mined ore deposit in Slovakia. The completion of genesis of precious metal epithermal mineralisation in the broad vicinity of this mine is necessary for its future effective exploration. Porphyry gold mineralisation, including the Biely Vrch deposit, is an unusual type of deposit, where gold was introduced by salt melts. Completion of its genetic model has a potential to significantly improve the knowledge of these rare magmatic-hydrothermal systems even in a global aspect, because due to their rare appearance the knowledge is still just on a low level.

2019-2022, investigator of the project VEGA 1/0196/19 „Effect of mineralogy, chemistry and surface properties of technological types of perlites on quality of expanded perlites and reduction in accumulation of fine perlite by-product by its conversion into zeolites and their environmental application”, principal investigator Mgr. Marek Osacký, PhD. The project is focused on study of different technological types of perlites and fine perlite material, a by-product produced during perlite processing. The main goal is to better understand the effect of mineralogy, chemistry and surface properties of technological types of perlites on the quality of commercial products – expanded perlites and to minimize the accumulation of perlite by-product material and assess its possible environmental application. The outputs of the project may have a practical industrial application. The obtain results can be used to enhance the pre-treatment of perlite technological types and upgrade the current perlite expansion process. Implementation of these changes, may result in production of expanded perlites of higher quality at lower production costs, compared to the current commercial expansion technology. The conversion of perlite by-product into zeolites will minimize accumulation of by-product material and utilization of zeolites will have positive environmental effect.

2016-2020, principal investigator of the project APVV 15-0083 „Complex model of base and precious metal mineralisation at the Rozália mine in Hodruša - Hámre“.

The project deals with the only ore deposit actively mined in Slovakia that is exceptional by richness of ore and its structural position on subhorizontal veins in center of the Štiavnica stratovolcano caldera. Epithermal Pb-Zn-Au-Ag vein deposit at Rozália mine was studied in detail just in its western part, while for its eastern part which is being intensively mined already since 2008, there are missing basic data about structural position, mineralogy and alteration. Genesis of the deposit is neither sufficiently solved. The absence of this information causes problems in exploration for further occurrences of this type of mineralisation in the district and in processing of ore. The creation of a complex model of mineralisation, including 3D modelling of mining works, geology and distribution of useful metals at the deposit in GIS, will significantly contribute to formulation of genetic model and resource assessment and it will result in more effective exploration and mining activities at the deposit. Genetic model of this exceptional deposit will contribute to general understanding of genesis of epithermal systems.

2015-2018, principal investigator of the project VEGA 1/0560/15 „Mineralogy and genesis of economically important types of gold mineralization in the Central Slovakia Volcanic Field“. This project deals with characterisation of two most important types of precious metal mineralisation in Slovakia that have a real economic importance. Completion of their current level of knowledge in terms of mineralogy and genesis can significantly help in exploration and mining of these ores. Epithermal vein Au-Ag deposit Rozália mine was studied in detail in its western part, while for its eastern part that is intensively mined since 2008, mineralogical data are missing and its genesis is not satisfactorily clear. The absence of this information causes problems with processing of ores and prospecting for this type of ore in this district. Porphyry gold mineralisation is a new type of Au ore in Western Carpathians that proved to be a very specific type of deposit even in world comparison. The study of this mineralisation has a potential to significantly improve the knowledge of these rare magmatic-hydrothermal systems, which can help to make their exploration more effective also elsewhere in the world.

2023-2027, principal investigator of the project APVV-22-0134 „Complex model of the W-Mo deposit Ochtiná-Rochovce and environmentally acceptable possibilities of its exploitation“. The project deals with a unique, economically usable accumulation of tungsten in Slovakia, which is also important from the point of view of the entire European Union, as tungsten is considered the critical metal with the highest index of economic importance. At the W-Mo porphyry deposit Ochtiná-Rochovce, the recent exploration enabled to identify extractable reserves of this metal and obtain a mining permit, but many basic geological, mineralogical and genetic information as well as data on potential environmental risks of mining are missing. The project will generate a new geological-structural-genetic model of the W-Mo deposit, which will allow a more rational and efficient search for mineralized structures, even in the wider vicinity of the deposit, where the occurences of base and precious metal mineralisations are known. The prevention of the negative impact of mining activities on the environment will also be addressed. Hydraulic and hydrogeochemical models of the deposit area will be generated in order to prevent the risk of groundwater infiltration into mining works and pollution of both surface and groundwater. Potential mining wastes and wastes after ore processing will also be comprehensively assessed. The creation of complex 2D and 3D GIS models of the deposit and its surroundings will significantly contribute not only to the formulation of a geological-genetic model of the deposit, but also to more efficient planning of exploration and environmentally acceptable mining activities at the deposit and in its vicinity. The project's outputs will also have the potential to make a significant contribution to the efficient exploration for this rare and poorly-studied type of ore deposits throughout the European Union, but also in other parts of the world.
