Organization of the Zletovo’s Pb-Zn deposit mineral and anthroghene access databases, Republic of Macedonia

Abstract

The Republic of Macedonia has been and still is one of the leading European lead-zinc producers. One fraction of that lead-zinc production comes from the Zletovo lead-zinc mine, near the city of Probistip in eastern parts of the country. Our latest paper focuses on efforts we made to organize Microsoft Access database with the most representative data for this particular lead-zinc 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 didn’t forgot the fact that, long history of mine exploitation inevitably produced significant anthropogenic input to the environment, so we have structured and anthropogenic database too. These two kinds of 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
