What is Mining Consultancy?

MIM is one of the leading firms in analyzing mining projects by using Remote Sensing and GIS (Satellite LANDSAT TM). With its experienced consultants and collaboration with academicians and  universities, MIM can not only calculate the reserves of existing mines but also estimate possible reserve amounts of newly found mines.

Benefits of using Remote Sensing and GIS on mine site location:

Traditional on-site or aerial methods of monitoring and assessing mines can be costly and inefficient. Mines are often far removed from civilized and populated areas and the logistics of on-site or aerial surveillance can be onerous. In comparison, high- resolution Earth-observation satellite data is cost-effective (e.g. large areas can be monitored remotely avoiding high logistics costs), easily interpreted, and suitable for long-term monitoring. As well, satellite monitoring can provide many benefits.

The principal economic benefit of mine monitoring via EO satellite is cost savings. Satellite imaging addresses the problem of monitoring remote mine sites without incurring the costs of the administration, accommodation, and logistics of surveillance by on-site teams or aerial monitoring. In addition, high-resolution satellite imagery can be used to create a baseline against which mining companies, government agencies, and environmental groups can evaluate and assess mine rehabilitation and environmental recovery plans. Information derived from high-resolution satellite imagery can be used to mitigate insurance and bonding costs and legal claims, as well as to confirm environmental compliance.

Another benefit of mine monitoring with high-resolution satellite imagery is the information utility value of the data. The information can be introduced into a variety of geographic, mining, and government systems in the form of maps, GIS data layers, reports, images, and presentations. As the data can be collected quickly, routinely, and reliably, mining companies and all groups interested in their activities are able to apply the information in a form that has real meaning to end users.

Finally, high-resolution imagery of mine sites can be used for internal business and operational decisions and due diligence activities requiring confidentiality and discretion. Overall, the information provided can be used to support a range of corrective methods such as grouting of mine voids, construction of land bridges, and the removal and replacement of overburden.

Companies that utilize high-resolution satellite imagery have an effective public relations tool at their disposal for demonstrating a commitment to remedial environmental initiatives. The results of remedial efforts are clearly visible in the imagery to the specialist and non-specialist alike. The cliché that “a picture is worth a thousand words” appropriately summarizes the value of high-resolution imagery to all stakeholders.
