MineScope
Make smarter decisions throughout the mining life cycle
MineScope provides remote, satellite-derived intelligence across mine sites to help mining companies, specialists and consultants make smarter geological, geotechnical and safety-related decisions throughout the mining life cycle. MineScope consists of a comprehensive suite of data solutions that improve exploration efficiency and situational awareness by helping to reduce risk during the planning, auditing and monitoring of mine operations and legacy sites.
Our MineScope solution is delivered via SatExplorer, your one-stop platform for analyzing Viridien’s satellite mapping data hand-in-hand with support from domain experts.
Exploration, operation and closure
For exploration activities, our mineral mapping expertise identifies potential mineral reserves prior to field-based reconnaissance and validation, saving significant time and risk in the earliest stages of a mining project. For “pit-to-port” operations, our clients benefit from the widest range of satellite imagery and topographic data available today, as well as unique intelligence to help them audit their operations, including pit and stockpile volume calculations and tailings parameters, and assess evolving risks with ground deformation and slope stability (InSAR) measurements.
Unique range of capabilities
- Mineral mapping: Remote and cost-effective identification of mineral assemblages that may indicate metallurgenic ores
- Satellite imagery: Improved situational awareness from the widest choice of multi-mission optical satellite imagery
- Topography: Detailed topographic mapping over wide areas at high resolution
- Volumes: Auditable tailings, waste and stock-pile volumes for your operations
- Tailings profiling: High-resolution imagery to track evolving tailings management parameters (e.g., beaches, freeboard, decant pond water extents)
- Slope stability and ground deformation: Precise mapping and monitoring the stability of mine caverns, pits, tailings, infrastructure and geohazards; optimization of ground-based sensors, monitoring and remediation
