MANAGING OF MINING-GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION BY GIS MAPINFO

M. Siarova

Abstract

Development of information technologies for the recent years converted the information into a powerful resource, providing more and more various spheres of production. And the new methods of acquiring, managing and saving different types of information created the information systems. Geoinformation systems (GIS) unite a vigorous mechanism for layered information acquiring, separated to two major information flows, respectively - spatial and descriptive, with absolutely automated functional relations. GIS has a complete ability for making complicated analyses and extraction of open or closed information. Geo-information system “MapInfo” is a leader among Desktop systems. It takes a guiding place as information insurance in the fields as ecology, surveying and cadastre, in civil engineering and state administration. The great amount of sold copies - over 165 000, proves the popularity of that system. The information insurance of mine producing and geology is an important stage, not only for mine constructive works, but mainly for the exploitation period of each mine. Here in Bulgaria in the mining field, we have only vague attempts for introducing such information insurance by GIS. It that paper is shown the structure of open pit mine “Asarel” by several information layers, presenting appropriate analysis and quarries. For that purpose it has been used GIS “MapInfo”. The complete power of “MapInfo” has been given in a very specific sphere, such as an open extraction of mineral resources.
