Why Map ?
 To better understand the geometry that
controls the orebody.
 To obtain Geology, Structure &
Engineering data.
 To assist interpretation & modelling.
 To provide better resource targeting.
 To minimise dilution, improve grades.
 To improve the bottom line.

What Mapping?

Underground
Backs
Faces
Walls
Declines

Pit
Walls
Benches
Faces
The Evolution in Mapping
 “Old Timers” manual mapping.
- They had to map - no other “tools”
 Conventional Digitizing - Sections & Plans.
- Duplicating manual techniques on computer
 3-D Modelling based on assays & drill data.
- Modelling by numbers
- Mapping to difficult to capture & include?
 Scanners, Digital Camera, ->Draping.
- Images used mainly for presentation
 Mobile mapping capture.
- Now you can map digitally at the mine “face”

Mapping Software Specifications
 Easy to use and minimal keyboard input.
 Customise to site legends & standards.
 Able to import site survey and image data
- calibrate digital photo’s or scans.
 Calibrate to survey in 3D.
 Capture of 3D Lithology with strike/dip/names.
 Capture of 3D sample & other data.
 Export to Mine Planning System
- with intelligence.

Selection
Options

Requires MS Windows & Pentium Processor (or equivalent) on a Desktop,
Notebook or Tablet PC with regular graphics & memory.
Site Legend Set up
- Menu Names
- Descriptions
- Colours, Layers
- String No’s.
No Survey pick-up? - No Worries!
Special facility to create new
mapping surface orientation
when no survey exists.
Numerous
options
Such as
If drive
bending
may only
see face
edge
Example - Underground Face Mapping
- from manually drawn face sheet images.
Example - Underground Backs Mapping
- from manually drawn plan sheet image.
Example - Open Cut Wall Mapping
- from digital photo ‘distorted’ to fit survey.
