Min Dat is today the world's leading database of minerals and their localities. In 2011 Min Dat organized the first international conference on mineral localities. Based on our work acomplished on the world's largest wulfenite locality with a recent monograph »Minerals of the lead-zinc ore deposit Mežica« we were invited to present this famous locality to broad mineralogical community. It was a great promotion of Slovenian natural treasures and one of the milestones of the project. After the conference I was assigned as database manager for Slovenia and western Balkans.
