System of Management and Protecting of Polish Mineral Raw Materials - MIDAS
– database maintained in Economic Geology Department of Polish Geological Institute-National Research Institute;
– data systematically updated since 1988;
– information on all of the mineral raw material deposits in Poland, resources base and on the output and developing possibilities;
– information on more than 12 000 deposits in Poland.
System of Management and Protecting of Polish Mineral Raw Materials - MIDAS
Data sources:1. Geological documentation
– every deposit has his own geological documentation,– basic information on a deposit, mainly: location (also maps),
deposit structure, hydrogeological conditions, raw material types and parameters, resources;
– collected in Central Geological Archives.
2. Statistical forms– prepared by concession holders;– sent once a year to PGI-NRI;– contains information on yearly output and resources changes in
deposit.
System of Management and Protecting of Polish Mineral Raw Materials - MIDAS
Data collected in the database are connected with the particulardeposit.
Information about deposit include:– deposit location (town or village, voivodeship)– deposit concession holder(s) – type of the area above the deposit– undergroundwater levels (depth, quality)– raw material data:
• thickness and depth, shape• qualitative parameters• resources and output
– exploitation system – raw material processing (ore dressing)– data on mine water (value and quality of pumped water)– data on raw material wastes– land reclamation planned for the future

System of Management and Protecting of Polish Mineral Raw Materials - MIDAS
Main uses:
– data source for preparing the publication „Bilans zasobów kopalin i wód podziemnych w Polsce” (only in Polish) – translated as „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland”;
– basis for the publication „Mineral Resources of Poland”(issued every five years since 1996, only in English);
– data source for local and government administration
The formal base to prepare the „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater
Resources in Poland”:
- The Mining and Geological Act (in Polish: „Prawo geologiczne i górnicze”) states that the Ministry of the Environment is one of the geological administration authorities in Poland;
- one of the tasks entrusted to the Ministry of the Environment is balancing of mineral raw materials;
- according to the Act mentioned above PGI-NRI fulfils the role of the State Geological Survey and prepares (by Economic Geology Department) „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland” in order of the Ministry of the Environment (Department of Geology and Geological Concessions);
- the „Annual Report …” is financed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
MINISTRY OFTHE ENVIRONMENT
• the first paper issued in 1953• issued annually – it is 55th
edition• prepared on the basis of the
System of Management and Protecting of Polish Mineral Raw Materials – MIDASsince 1988
• the 2009 edition (as of 31.12.2008) contains data on 10,347 deposits
The stages of preparing „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and
Groundwater Resources in Poland”:
• First step is to collect data on every deposit under exploitation, according to the special forms which are filled in by the concession holders and sent to the Economic Geology Department;
• Data are input into the database MIDAS and elaborated according to the standards of „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland”;
• The chapters referring to the particular commodities are prepared by specialists from the Economic Geology Department;
• The publication has to be approved by Department of Geology and Geological Concessions (Ministry of the Environment) and then can be issued (usually in October).
The structure of the „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and
Groundwater Resources in Poland”:
• Mineral raw materials are presented within four main groups:- Fuels- Metals- Chemical raw materials- Rock raw materials• There are detached chapters connected with: export and import
of mineral raw materials; groundwater resources; wastes produced during the exploitation and processing of mineral raw materials; maps of the mineral raw materials deposits occurrence;
• There are usually three types of table presented in every chapter: type 1. presents the magnitude of mineral raw material resources and state of their identification and management (for the whole country); type 2. presents the list of the deposits occurring in Poland (in regional or administrative order) jointly with the resources/reserves base, output and location respectively; type 3. presents the volume and the directions of mineral raw material export and import;
• For selected raw materials such as natural gas and crude oil there is also a table which presents the output in regional order.

Export and import of mineral raw materials in Poland
• Information on the trade turnover in exports and imports of mineral raw materials in Poland are prepared according to Combined Nomenclature (CN), which is deeply connected with the international classification system named Harmonized System – HS.
• Data are gained from the Custom Service (Polish name: Centrum Analityczne Administracji Celnej) and collected in the database PRICESMIN. In 2009 database was incorporated into the modernized MIDAS system as one of its modules (the name has changed into the Mineral Raw Materials Management).
• The information are elaborated according to the needs of „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland”. The criterion for including the particular raw material in the report is the volume of its import and export, which has to reach the minimum value of PLN 10,000 thousand.

„Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland” also includes information on:
• Wastes produced during the exploitation of mineral raw material, are divided into two categories:
1. mining wastes produced in the act of exctracting mineral raw material from the deposit;
2. wastes produced during the processing of the commodity which has been already extracted.
There is a table presenting the amount of wastes which were produced and utilized – depending on the mineral raw material and from particular deposits.
• Groundwater resources, with two main types of groundwater:1. Drinking and industrial water There are admissible volumes of exctracted groundwater and disposable
resources (presented in administrative and regional order respectively) on the basis of the data obtained from PGI-NRI and Department of Geology and Geological Concessions.
2. Mineral water – brines, therapeutic water and termal water (qualified to the mineral raw materials)
There are two lists of deposits and wells (arranged in regional and administrative order respectively) jointly with the resources base, water withdrawal and location. The data are obtained from MIDAS and Hydro Bank databases.
Maps – an integral part of „Annual Report of Mineral Reserves/Resources and Groundwater Resources in Poland”
Data collected in MIDAS database are the basis to elaborate a set of 14 maps presenting the occurence of Polish mineral raw materials deposits.
There are location and the state of deposits identification and management presented on the maps.

Terminology and classification of the resources used in this paper is an attempt to adapt the national classification to
the United Framework Classification for Fossil Energy and Mineral Resources (UNFC).
The adaptation of Polish terminology to the UNFC has been carried out for years and – thanks to the efforts made by M. Piwocki, S. Przeniosło and M. Nieć – the substantial
progress was made.Current Workshop is an occasion to present the results of
these attempts.
