Mine Survey Technologies technology

Technology

Modern capture, processing, and digital delivery for mining data

MST uses practical surveying and geospatial technology to move from field data to reliable mine-ready outputs. Our workflows are designed to support real operations, not just create visuals.

Equipment

Field technology built for accurate mine survey work

Our equipment base supports underground and surface surveying, LiDAR capture, drone mapping, and dependable data collection workflows across mining and infrastructure environments.

Our Approach

A connected workflow from capture to decision-making

We combine survey control, LiDAR, drone mapping, data processing, model creation, and structured outputs so mines can get more value from spatial data.

Stage 1

Capture

Gather site data using survey methods, LiDAR systems, drones, and control networks.

Stage 2

Process

Georeference, process, filter, classify, and export to usable project outputs.

Stage 3

Model

Generate surfaces, terrain models, sections, and plan-based deliverables.

Stage 4

Deliver

Share outputs in formats that support reporting, planning, coordination across multiple departments, and visual review.

Survey and capture technology

Capture Technology

Field data collection built around real site conditions

Different sites require different approaches. MST combines traditional survey discipline with newer capture systems to improve speed, detail, and coverage where appropriate.

Underground and surface survey control
LiDAR scanning for detailed site capture
Drone mapping for terrain and large areas
Data capture for stockpiles, workings, and infrastructure

Processing Workflow

Turning raw capture into structured mine data

Raw data only becomes valuable once it is processed properly. Our workflow focuses on accuracy, clarity, and outputs that are useful to mine teams, engineers, and decision-makers.

Georeference

Confirming and preparing the raw data for processing.

Filtering and Classification

Removing noise and low-confidence data while classifying the dataset for better understanding.

Outputs

Digital deliverables that support mine operations

The goal is not just to capture data — it is to deliver information people can actually use in planning, reporting, visualisation, and operations.

LiDAR Point Clouds

For the most accurate terrain and spatial data.

Plans

From development, stoping, and DMR-compliant plans.

Reports

Volumetric deposition, stockpile reports, and tailings dam wall monitoring reports.
