Abstract: The article presents the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for the support of decisions regarding the choice of mining investment. The mining investment, as understood in the analysis conducted in the article is an acquisition of a plant mining zinc and lead ore together with the processing plant producing concentrates of these metals as well as the deposits potentially viable for mining. The subject of analysis consisted of 11 polymetallic ore deposits with different degrees of utilization and mining infrastructure which could be a subject of investment activities in Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia.
