Uncovering Technologies and Strategies for Exploration and Mine Advancement Using Geographic Information Systems

Strategies for Advancing Your Project with Effective GIS Implementation and Use

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are utilised throughout the mineral exploration and mining sector due to the ability to effectively bring together data and ensure effective analysis. As the technology surrounding it continues to improve and develop, it is essential that these developments be understood and utilised. By learning and interacting with new GIS strategies, you can ensure that your business remains competitive, and that cost-effective measures are in place to save you time and money when conducting exploration, expansion, or ongoing mining operations.

GIS in Mining and Exploration 2010 covers strategies for the effective use of GIS for the improved efficiency and efficacy of your operations. Case studies and technical experts from across the sector will allow for an interactive improvement opportunity where you can hear from the best in the business on how to implement and utilise GIS in innovative, cost-effective ways.

The conference agenda was developed using research directly from GIS Managers, Geologists, Exploration Managers and Cartographers. This means that the topics are directly relevant to those working with GIS in the industry. Case studies from exploration companies and mine sites across Australia will combine with expert research presentations in order to demonstrate not only what is being done now, but also where GIS is heading for mining and exploration targeting.

What Topics Will Be Covered?

Sessions will cover topics addressing the challenges faced by those working in the field. Presentations, panel sessions and roundtable discussions will combine to cover themes such as training, data management, visualisation, exploration targeting, and more. You will hear a range of experiences from across twelve different mining and exploration projects both Australian and International, all maintaining a focus on how this information can help your project with practical advice and insight into common pitfalls and areas of difficulty.

Session topics include:

• Utilising GIS for Exploration Targeting
• Integrating GIS and Mining Platforms: a Rio Tinto Case Study
• New Techniques in Regional 3D Geological Mapping, Simulation and Visualisation for Predictive Mineral Exploration
• Implementing the Visualisation of Spatial Data
• Training Those Unfamiliar with GIS to Ensure Proper System Usage
• Developing Further Software Functionality to Automate Tasks for Improved Individual Project Performance
