The CHCNAV's mobile mapping solutions enable efficient and affordable mining exploration in Indonesia.
Effective and early surveying operations are crucial to the life cycle of the mining operation.
In the first phase of the mineral exploration process, primarily for coal, the effectiveness of survey operations will impact on all 5 typical stages of the mining life cycle (exploration, discovery, development, production, and reclamation). During this stage, mining companies hire geologists to determine the composition of the earth's surface and study its geology to locate minerals. A mining geologist maps the locations of mineral deposits and uses aerial photographs, field maps, and geological studies to determine where and how much of a mineral is presented at the site.
Today, a wide range of digital instrumentation is available to help coal companies accelerate the exploration and development of mines while also gaining a competitive edge. Unmanned aircraft systems and LiDAR scanners with industrial grade GNSS and high precision IMU are technologies that address the challenges of providing accurate geographic data, visualization, and 3D models of the earth's surface in a 3D digital format in minimum time.
Let's discover how using the P330 Pro VTOL UAV with the AlphaAir 450 LiDAR helped effectively collect data to measure the volume of an open pit mine site in Indonesia.
