Latitude: 42°56'20"N
Longitude: 20°55'0"E
Located near Stari Trg village in the Trepča valley, about 8 km east of Kosovska Mitrovica.
This is the central mine of the Trepča complex.

Mining at Trepca is documented since the late Middle Ages. In the 20th century, the mine was closed during the Kosovo war of 1998-99. The two smelters were destroyed and the mine completely flooded.
The mine was then reopened in 2005, and has since been renamed Trepca Stan Terg (mine).
