Drone Solution
professionals who adapt drones into their mining operations quickly realize the significant added value they bring to their industry.
drones in mining improve the overall efficiency of large mine site and quarry management by providing accurate and comprehensive data detailing site conditions in a very short time. They also support better coordination among teams onsite and internationally, offering dynamic oversight of all operations.
APEX' drone solution provides a direct connection to aerial data and new levels of insight. This autonomous drone, streamlines operations, increases efficiency and offers immediate, easy access to the required data.
By use of high-resolution RGB cameras, professional hyperspectral and geophysical sensors, drones can identify types of minerals and geophysical anomalies early on. These valuable insights can reduce input costs and boost yield.
APEX provides high quality UAV services in the following areas:
• Hyperspectral mineral mapping and geophysical surveying.
• Infrastructure and equipment inspection.
• Terrain mapping and change detection.
• Asset management and scheduling.
• General Project Oversight.
• Security and surveillance.
• Inspection & Monitoring.
• Stockpile Management.
• Geotechnical Modeling.
• Hauling Optimization.
• Drilling & Blasting.
• Tailings Dams.
