Remote surveying and geological mapping for mines and quarries is increasingly being done using LIDAR and UAV as it offers fast, accurate data to plan mining processes. LIDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances). LIDAR is used for surveying the mining area and helps in determining ore body, mining pit volume, and pre-strip and spoil surface volumes. UAVs, which stands for unmanned aerial vehicle or drone, is a type of aircraft that operates without a human pilot onboard. The recent improvements in technology have resulted in the development of UAVs for multiple purposes. In mining, UAVs are used for aerial photography, remote sensing, and searching, monitoring and providing information from hazardous locations. Companies are using these techniques for resource calculation, supporting photography (land usage, SEIA, etc.) and geophysical & watershed/catchment area modeling. It provides a significant geotechnical advantage.

According to The Business Research Company’s Consultant, Nitin Gianchandani, the problem of urban conglomerates expanding into rural areas containing mines has raised environmental concerns with noise and air polluting practices of drilling and blasting carried out in the mines. This issue has offered rise to the idea of using surface removal/excavation machines. The precision surface mining is increasingly being deployed in mining and quarrying industry to reduce noise and air pollution caused by drilling and blasting. It also helps in adhering to the environmental norms and policies of the state and national governments.
