Summary/Abstract: An extensive mining history and presence are indisputable fact here in the Republic North Macedonia. The mining has been related to several polymetallic mineral deposits (Toranica, Sasa, Zletovo, Buchim), which are important for the country’s economy. Our paper focuses on efforts we made to organize Microsoft Access database with the most representative data related to the tailing dam in the only copper mine in the country, the Buchim Mine near the city of Radovish. First of all we compiled enormously high amount of data from the mine and adjacent mine facilitites, then with the help of “Microsoft Access” software we organized database with the most important information such are geological, metallogenic and economic features of the deposit. However, we were highly aware of the fact that more than a four decades of mine exploitation has been followed with production of significant anthropogenic input to the environment, so we have concentrated more on the anthropogenic part of the database (tailing dam part). The database was adapted for simple and sophisticated querying of particular anthropogenic features and allows edition of reports and a geographic display of the queried information. Data available for querying was structured in several independent entities: general information, wastes and products, comments, iconography and bibliography. This Access database for the Buchim Mine’s tailing dam will enlighten qualitative-quantitative parameters and eventual possible valorization of metals that were subject to the establishment of the da-tabase, in accordance with professional as well as environmental and economic viability of the particular tailing dam material enclosed in form of an anthropogenic concentration Access database
