After the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, the Austrian authorities have declared all mineral resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina like state property. They had approached to research activities in Ljubija ore area, in order to determine reserves and examine the possibilities of exploitation. Generations of geologists have conducted explorations and changed known hypotheses, intensity of research and concepts. The question is whether the beginning of the explorations was the period between 1882 and 1885 (135 years ago), when the government and mining consultants Vogt and Wolter had recorded the state of the raw material base in these areas for the first time, or when the first iron ore explorations started in 1907 (110 years ago). Geological explorations have been conducted with interruptions and passed through various phases, different in intensity depending on the interest of mining production and the best methodologies of the time were applied. The paper represents the history of explorations, applied methods, detailed and regionally researched areas and the volume and intensity of research for each of the applied methods. There is a critical review of applied research methodologies, achieved exploration level and reliability of available data on previous explorations and the degree of field exploration evaluation.
