Mineral and anthroghene access databases organization for Alshar polymetallic deposit and waste dump, Republic of Macedonia

Abstract

The Republic of Macedonia has an extensive mining past and presence, related to several polymetallic mineral deposits, which is important for its economy. This paper focuses on efforts we made to organize Microsoft Access database with the most representative data for the across the World well known Alshar polymetallic deposit in the Republic of Macedonia. At the very beginning, with the software package “Microsoft Access” we have organized database with information of the most important geological, metallogenic and economic features of the deposit. Also, we have not omitted the fact that, although limited, mine exploitation has been followed with production of significant anthropogenic input to the environment, so we have structured and anthropogenic database too. Both databases were adapted for simple and sophisticated querying of particular deposit and anthropogenic features and allows edition of reports and a geographic display of the queried information.
