Drone Surveying improving productivity, Planning and Management of Mine Sites

Over recent years, we have witnessed drone technology advancements push aside the traditional methods of mine monitoring and surveying. Drones have become increasingly popular in support of mining applications with exploration, surveying and mapping. Australia and Africa have led the way in adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across their mining industries to maintain safety, increase oversight and enhance security.  Drone Mining Survey UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have been increasing in popularity in the mining industry for the last 10 years. As the technology has improved in leaps and bounds, so too has the number of drones deployed on mine sites for a variety of applications. Drones using cameras, LIDAR technology, or plugged into photogrammetry software, can create
