Details
Sophisticated technology is required to find, extract, and manage the resources in the earth's crust. Since mining is inherently spatial, requiring accurate knowledge of areas of the earth's surface and subsurface, geospatial technology is best suited
to intelligently oversee all phases of the mine operation. GIS and Remote sensing gives mining companies the tools they need to operate mines responsibly and at optimum efficiency.
GIS and Remote sensing can be used by mining companies to target mineral exploration, evaluate mining conditions, model mine construction, and display geochemical or hydrological data. GIS can also be employed in applying for mining permits, assessing environmental impact, and designing closure and reclamation plans.
