Optimising Exploration While Minimizing Environmental Impact
Overview
Exploring for new resources is an art, especially if you want to keep the environmental impact at a minimum. For example, incorrectly planning your access ways through vegetation can cause delays and trigger environmental compliance costs. And increasing environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) protocols can make exploration expensive.
Furthermore, there is the uncertainty in the ore body itself: what are its boundaries, how deep is it, how rich is it?
We will catalogue a range of data sources and use these to:
- Create a picture of the environment including terrain, vegetation and existing assets
- Plan roads for our operations at low environmental impact
- Build up a picture of the ore body
- Identify areas of uncertainty in the ore body for placement of drill holes
