Among its general objectives are:
- To explore and study the country’s geological structure
- To locate and assess the mineral raw materials and geothermal fields

Special emphasis is put on environmental protection and improvement of the quality of life. HSGME participates in several EU R&D programs, International and European Organisations and in EU and Regional projects co-financed by the Structural Funds. It provides technical-material infrastructure and modern accredited laboratories (e.g. chemical – mineralogical analyses by means of ICP-OES, ICP-MS, SEM, XRD, TOC, environmental characterization – mineral ore processing and technology laboratories).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 820911
