10. Comprehensive Aerial Mapping for Mining Industries March 15, 2011 When the planning and route mapping of a mine is done it is important to determine the geophysical data of the mine area. With the use of helicopters for aerial mapping a more comprehensive map can be made of all the environmental factors influencing a mine growth. Electromagnetic survey With the use of electromagnetic aerial surveys data can be captured reflecting the mineral deposits at a mine site. The level of the underground water table in the mine can also be noted. This will assist in managing the flooding of mines underground as a result of hitting water pools underground whe...
