Geological database has become available for mine management because many advanced functions were added with rapid progress in PC hardware performance. In mining management, more careful planning and serious quality control are required because of environmental problem. That is, applying geological database in mining becomes the most important subject to realize both of lower expenses and higher quality. Therefore, using the MineSight that is one of the most popular software, the possibilities of database were examined in case of the Atago lime stone open-pit mine.
Availability of geological database was proven, that is, geologic maps are effective to make mining plan by composing one another. These plans can adjust concentration to realize high quality control and make all mining terms longer. To improve accuracy, it is necessary to master the database operations, because the range value and concentration maps are avairable information for effective boring. Earlier installation is desired. On the other hand, new functions are asked, for instance, mining simulations for quality control under environmental protection, i. e., eyesore and noise prevention.
