**Golesh** is a mountain in [Kosovo](/source/Kosovo) with an altitude of 1,019 m (3,343 ft).[1] The peak is located in the municipality of Lipjan and it is near the [Pristina International Airport Adem Jashari](/source/Pristina_International_Airport_Adem_Jashari).

A branch of the [Drenica River](/source/Drenica_(river)) originates on the mountain. At the top, there is an FM/TV broadcasting centre.

The mountain contains the world's largest vein [magnesite](/source/Magnesite) deposit, with total reserves of around five million tonnes; mining began in 1923.[1] The [Goleš mine](/source/Gole%C5%A1_mine) was one of the largest magnesite mines in the country.[2] It was shut down in early 2002.[3]
