Indresh Singh Rathore | P Ramesh Chandra Phani

Abstract: Prima facie exploration data is a paramount foundation of any mining project. Mineral industry generates quantum of data every day. Exploration geologists conventionally collect this data on ground by manual means of standard templates and procedures. The conventional practice of collating varied exploration data is a time consuming process. This practice was highly beneficial in old mining days but now we are heading into digital mining world where industry expectation is to transform the old practices by way of technology. Automation of this key process is a growing need of the mining industry. The key objective of this paper is to provide solution for collecting all exploration data digitally Exploration automation. This will have high impact on time reduction, cost saving and environment friendly too.
