Why use drones in exploration
Drones are not just flying cameras; they are sophisticated tools that enhance mining exploration. With drones, you can obtain clear and accurate maps of even the most rugged terrains, ensuring precise excavation planning.
Enhanced Safety and Risk Management
Safety is paramount in the mining industry. Drones facilitate hazard identification, allowing you to correct potentially dangerous site features without putting personnel at risk. This technology has been researched and proven to significantly improve safety standards.
Efficient Stockpile Management:
With our drone solutions, measuring volumes of stockpiles becomes a task of precision and ease. Our drones collect data from hundreds of points, ensuring accurate volume calculations and effective stockpile management.
Detailed Monitoring and Inspection
Drone solutions provide high-resolution aerial views for close inspection of drill patterns, blasting results, and overall site conditions. This level of detail supports effective decision-making and operational efficiency.
Environmental Compliance and Reclamation
Drone solutions are instrumental in environmental monitoring and reclamation efforts. They provide the data necessary to manage your site in alignment with environmental regulations and restore land post-mining operations.
Best Drones for Mining and Exploration Industry
Drones play a vital role in enhancing efficiency and safety on mine sites.
- Mavic 3 Enterprise for Mapping: The Mavic 3 Enterprise drone is an excellent choice for mine site mapping. It replaces the older Phantom 4 RTK, offering improved capabilities. With its high-resolution imaging and mapping capabilities, it can help in creating accurate site models and monitoring changes in topography over time, aiding in mine planning and management.
- Matrice 30T for Inspection and Response: Equipped with a powerful zoom camera and thermal camera, the Matrice 30T drone is perfect for mine site inspection and disaster response. It can quickly assess potential hazards, identify equipment malfunctions, and detect temperature anomalies, enhancing safety and emergency response capabilities.
- Matrice 350 RTK for Versatile Payloads: The Matrice 350 RTK is the most versatile platform for mine sites. It enables the easy swapping of different payloads, including the Zenmuse L2 LiDAR, which is essential for mapping and stockpile volume analysis. This capability is invaluable for precise resource estimation, inventory management, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations on mine sites.
LiDAR in Mining Applications
UAV LiDAR systems offer a game-changing advantage by delivering highly accurate elevation data, inventory information, surface and volume calculations, precise pit models, and contour maps in significantly less time compared to conventional methods.
The Zenmuse L2 LiDAR is fully compatible with the Matrice 300/350 series drones and stands as DJI's flagship LiDAR sensor. Its seamless integration within the DJI ecosystem ensures user-friendliness, making it exceptionally easy to operate. For those seeking more control over their data processing, the GreenValley LiDAR system presents an excellent alternative.
In the underground mining sector, the Emesent Hovermap takes center stage as a SLAM-based LiDAR system. Tailored specifically to meet the needs of underground mining, the Hovermap not only delivers high-accuracy mapping but also serves as an autonomous navigation system for drones. Its exceptional performance in GPS-denied environments, such as mine shafts and otherwise inaccessible areas, makes it a standout choice for enhancing safety and efficiency in underground mining operations.
