Mine Surveying is an essential component of Mineral Resource Management that provides technical support in terms of measurement, reporting, positional accuracy and direction to the mining process.
Mining surveying is one of the essential processes for exploration activities and efficient resource management. Providing accurate data on an area's geology allows companies to make informed decisions about where best to locate their operations, how much mineral they have available, and what potential hazards are present in the vicinity.
