The site, part of Canadian-based Inmet Mining, will use both
MP5 and MP5.Web to manage their environmental data
Çayeli is an underground copper and zinc mine located on the
Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey. The mine was opened in 1994
and is expected to operate until at least 2017.
It produces three types of concentrates: copper concentrate,
copper and zinc bulk concentrate and zinc concentrate. These
concentrates are sold to a number of international and domestic
smelters and traders.
As part of Çayeli's environmental management system there
is an obligation to monitor a number of environmental impacts and
data is collected and reported on quality of local water courses
(e.g. metals, sulphate, pH, oxygen consumption) and flow, sea
water, tailings discharges, wastewater quality, rainfall and noise
and vibration from blasting. In December 2010 Çayeli pruchased MP5
client and MP5.Web licences to manage this data which replaced the
previous system of many separate spreadsheets. It is anticipated to
work to produce bespoke report templates to save time
for Çayeli in fulfilment of their reporting obligations will
take place in 2011.
