Good Morning All,

Some of you may find this interesting if you are planning to utilize drones for mapping.

This blog post details the experience and challenges of mapping the largest copper mine in Asia.

In early May 2018, the Czech company UpVision used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to map a copper mine in Mongolia – the largest in Asia – as part of an ongoing Czech geological expedition at the site. More than 10 square kilometers of the mine and its surroundings were mapped using the MaVinci Sirius unmanned aircraft.

UpVision has been using the MAVinci UAV for similar missions for more than five years, in particular due to its suitability for flying in difficult terrain, manual flight mode and the possibility to repair the UAV directly on site if necessary.”
