Mine Surveying
"Surveying is the art of making such
field observations and measurements
as are necessary to determine
positions, areas, volumes, or
movements on the earth's surface.
Notes on history
Modern Survey
Instruments
Mine surveyors are involved in every
aspect of mining operations; this
includes
1.initial exploration,
2.initial construction of mine
operations, on-going mining works,
3.rehabilitation of site
4.abandonment stage after mining is
c ompleted
GPS in Mining
The standard surveying method has
been with a traditional total station,
requiring a minimum of two survey
personnel for each crew. But it is slow
compared to GPS surveying and
requires users to set multiple control
points in sight of where the survey
work is to be performed.
GPS
Total Stations
Total Station is the combination of an
electronic distance measurement,
electronic theodolite and a
programmed calculator and
may be said to be an electronic
tacheometer theodolite.

of mine working on the surface and

GEOGNOSY.
Preliminary to beginning underground
operations it is often necessary that the
location and extent of the deposit to be
mined should be determined. When
there
is an outcrop, this can generally be more
easily accomplished than when there is
no surface indication.
