Surveying

Surveying is an essential technique in mineral exploration and aerial mapping. It involves using remote sensing and ground based measurement to determine mineral deposit location, size, shape and orientation.

Technological advances have enabled the use of more sophisticated method of mining surveying. These includes satellite imagery, aerial LiDAR (light detection & ranging) gravimetry and magenometry.

Satellite Imagery

Allows for large scale mapping of an area with high resolution images. It is ideal for mineral exploration as it can detect subtle changes in surface topography and may indicate potential ore bodies or other features of interest.

Aerial LIDAR

Uses laser pulses to map out an area quickly and accurately. It provides detailed data on the shape and orientation of ore bodies that area difficult or impossible to access by other conventional method.

Drone Surveying for Mining Exploration

Another commendable advance technique for mineral surveying is the utilization of drone technology. It is new and exciting technology rapidly becoming popular in the mineral exploration industries. Using drones make it possible to quickly and cheaply map large land area and other features of interest. It also have the advantage of being less intrusion than other method, such as aerial LiDAR or satellite imagery. It is ideal for mineral exploration activities in remote or sensitive location. Some of the significant advantages of drone surveying.

  • 1. It supports site mapping

    Drone technology can capture high-resolution images and video of a mining area/site to create detailed maps for exploration activities and resource management.

  • 2. It can monitor environmental changes

    Monitoring the environmental before, during and after mining activities is very such essential. Drone survey can make environmental monitoring accessible and cost effective. It allow mining owner to identifying situation like land reclamation and land degradation with drone solution regular monitoring can be manageable than ever.

  • 3. It is suitable for ore body mapping

    Drone technology can take aerial mapping for ore bodies with precision. It can provide data for resource estimation and mine planning activities. The multi-spectral sensor and the ability for remote surveying can help mine planner to do the job faster.

  • 4. It aids mining inspection

    Drone can easily access hard to reach mine site areas, making it easier to inspect infrastructure equipment, and other structure for safety.

  • 5. It tighten area security

    Drones area also commendable for perimeter monitoring of the mine site. The sensor high quality camera can help to detect any unauthorized intrusion or breaches in security. It can improve the existing security system. From traditional & high technology surveying approaches, a drone solution can aids that job in the most cost & time efficient way.
