Organization of the Access database of the Lojane As-Sb deposit Northern Macedonia represents the first attempt of this paper authors to synthesize geological exploration data of this ore bearing locality in one professional database available for the interested parties. Since we are relatively experienced in compiling similar databases for numerous deposits (Bucim, Borov Dol, Kadiica, Sasa etc.), we had a critical knowledge needed to to organize representative Access database for the Lojane deposit. The Lojane de...

From the aspect of new and undiscovered conventional ore deposits of metallic raw materials the territory of Europe becomes more and more exhausted. In that regard slowly but steadily, alternatives are looked for. Namely, professionals became very aware of the anthropogenically introduced tailing and smelting dams/dumps and metal concentrations contained within. The European trends are leaning toward that path to provide fresh metal raw material sources for the developing industry. In that direction, bearing in mi...

The Lojane deposit is a characteristic epithermal As-Sb type of mineralization located in the contact boundary between the Tertiary volcanites and the Jurassic ultrabasites in the immediate vicinity of the village of Lojane in the northern parts of the Republic of Macedonia. Mineralization is of a vein type, and the main bearers of As-Sb mineralization are the stibnite (antimonite) and the realgar, followed at the places by the orpiment. Four morphological types of mineralization are defined by the latest macro-sc...

Organization of the Access database of the Zletovo lead-zinc deposit Eastern Macedonia represents the first attempt of this paper authors to synthesize geological exploration data of this ore bearing locality in one professional database available for the interested parties. Ours experience in organization of similar databases for other metal deposits such are Bucim, Borov Dol, Kadiica, Sasa etc., gave us the necessary knowledge and experience to construct quality Access database for the Zletovo deposit. The Zleto...

Acid mine drainage waters around the Buchim Mine were challenge for researchers and Buchim company itself, but of highest interest it was for the environmentalists. In several phases Buchim Mine was solving the problem of pollution around the mine, whhen definitely this environmental problem was solved with the construction of the copper leaching facility. Large quantity of material deposited at the Buchim Mine waste dump of around 130 Mt today represents source of drainage copper solutions that are captured by pi...

Organization of the Access database of the Kadiica copper deposit Eastern Macedonia represents the first attempt of this paper authors to synthesize geological exploration data of this ore bearing locality in one professional database available for the wider auditorium. Authors experience in organization of similar databases for other metal deposits such are Bucim, Borov Dol, Zletovo, Sasa etc., gave us an opportunity to construct quality Access database for the Kadiica deposit. This deposit is of porphyry type wi...

The Cukar 2 east ore body represents the latest explored ore body within the Mucim Mine with possibilities to enter exploitation stage in near fututre. Calculated ore-bearing coefficient in the Cukar 2 east ore body was 0.40%, meaning that within the ore body boundaries 60% of mass is not mineralized somehow, which is compatible with remaining three ore bodies within the Buchim porphyry copper mine. The calculated value of variation coefficient (V) has shown value of 71.39% that is in the range of 43-100%, which d...

The Lojane arsenic-antimony deposit with its former mine facilities, for a longer period, represents source of contamination with heavy and toxic metals into the air, water and soil. Remains of mine waste in Suvi Potok near the Vakcince village, open waste and concentrate storage pond from the Lojane Mine and storage of reagents and toxins near the Tabanovce village represent source of pollution with As, Sb, Hg, Tl, Pb, Mo, Mn etc., which directly threaten surface and ground water in the vicinity of Vaksince, Loja...
