Abstract Prof Asoc Dr Edmond GOSKOLLI NANR (AKBN) Nation Agency of Natural Resources , Tirana Albania The Bulqiz chrome mine is one of the largest chromium mines in Albania. It represents one of the country's most important mining activities. The depth of its development of the mine makes it one of the deeper mines in Balkan and possibly in Europe. Last year, the inner mine shaft reached the quota -220 below sea level, in which the mine reaches a depth of 1000m from surface. Like all deep metal mines and this mine during its development is faced with a different set of problems. The first and most important challenge is that of improving the level of geological knowledge of this mine and assessment of geological resources and reserves according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition, because it is unique from a geological point of view In addition to geological problems a series of other problems related to increasing the depth of the mine will be the object of this paper such as: • Rock mechanics, rock and ore stability, mine working support; • Mining method and technological improvements; • Groundwater and their pumping ; • The temperature in the mine, the air physical parameters and the mine ventilation. The mine has faced these problems using different calculation programs and simulations packages which will be presented in summarized in this paper
