GEOMATIC TECHNOLOGIES IN MINING: DRONES AND GPS AS ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES
Abstract
The paper explores the utilization of modern measurement technologies, particularly drones and GPS systems, in the process of mineral resource exploitation. These technologies have revolutionized the way topographic surveys are conducted, providing efficient and precise solutions for land mapping and mineral deposit evaluation. Drones, equipped with RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) modules, enable rapid collection of geospatial data, facilitating the acquisition of high-resolution aerial images and digital terrain models. They are capable of operating in hard-to-reach areas, significantly reducing the time required for measurements while enhancing accuracy. GPS systems, through reference station networks, ensure centimeter-level precision in coordinate determination, which is essential for georeferencing data obtained from drones. The combination of these technologies allows for not only a detailed assessment of mineral resources but also improved management of environmental impacts, contributing to sustainable exploitation practices. Furthermore, the integration of drones and GPS systems in mineral extraction activities optimizes processes and enhances the safety and efficiency of operations. In conclusion, the adoption of these advanced technologies is crucial for the future of mineral resource management, ensuring responsible and effective utilization of natural resources.
