ABSTRACT
This paper is deals mapping of mining in Spiń-Gemer part of Slovak Ore Mountains in GIS
environment. The data, both in text and image form are presented thru geodatabase in ArcGIS. Mining
has a rich history of the study area. The origins can be dated probably to the period of 4-5.c. BC, as
evidenced by a number of archaeological finds. Written references to ore mining in Spiń-Gemer part of
Slovak Ore Mountains are more than 700 years old. Spiń-Gemer part of Slovak Ore Mountains is in
terms of ores and industrial exploitation of the most important department of Slovakia. The result is a
comprehensive database of area where you can track the progress of mining, interested in different
mining ores and minerals.
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Spiń-Gemer Ore Mountains is in terms of ores and industrial exploitation of the most
important departments of Slovakia. Researched area in the centuries-old tradition of mining
activities. The origins can be dated probably to the period of 4-5.stor.pnl, as evidenced by a
number of archaeological finds. Written references to ore mining in Spiń-Gemer Ore
Mountains are more than 700 years. To save the information for future generations, it is
appropriate to create a comprehensive database on the territory where such is possible. the
progress of mining, interested in different mining ores and minerals today and follow
developments in terms of historical mining.
SPIŠ-GEMER ORE MOUNTAINS
Slovak Ore Mountains is the largest mountain range in Slovakia area, landscape area
suprovincie Inner Western Carpathians. The central part of the Slovak Ore Mountains -
territory (mainly) Volovské and Stolické hills and mountains and highlands Revúcka also
known as Spiń-Gemer Ore Mountains.
At its construction involved five paleoalpínskych príkrovových units - veporikum, gemerikum
(about 75% of the territory), meliatikum, tuniatikum and silicikum. The most widespread
sedimentary and metamorphic rocks vulkanogénne files - metapieskovce, metavulkanity,
phyllites, carbonates, granites ± lidity. The whole area is characterized by a rich Slovak Ore
Mountains presence of ore genesis and mineralization of varying ages. Geological
environment is characterized by extensive contamination mainly - As, Sb, Pb, Cu, Zn, Hg and
Cr. [1]
Spiń-Gemer Ore Mountains is among one of the most researched and also the most complex
areas of the Western Carpathians. During the 70th to 90 of the last century was carried large
amounts of geological work and exploratory nature of the research, as well as mining
operations in mining and quarrying, which enriched geological knowledge and substantially
specify the geological picture Slovak Ore Mountains. [3]
