Mining
Grass Roots Exploration
-
High quality base map
-
Locate historical workings or old roads for easier access
-
Lineament Analysis
-
Determine ice flow direction
-
Map resistant (or recessive) lithologies, faults or veins
-
Locate or follow veins/faults/contacts/dykes even under heavy forest canopy
Advanced Exploration
-
Locate potential drill sites
-
Plan drill access routes
-
Plot accurate drill sections (more likely to get correct interpretation)
-
Archaeology / Environmental studies
-
Locate illegal miners
-
Better topography for geophysics (especially Gravity)
Resource Evaluation
-
Accurate and detailed topo leads to more accurate resource model
Engineering Construction Phase
-
Slope maps / Topo maps / Wet vs Dry soil maps
-
Roads / power line routes
-
Plan Tailings Storage Facilities
Resource Extraction
-
Accurately measure volume of rock removed from pit
-
Measure remaining capacity of tailings storage
-
Measure volume of ore / waste piles
