Mining Intelligence

Mine workers in hard hats examining equipment and data at an open-pit mining operation — Satellite monitoring of brown quarry sites helps regulators track environmental impact and ensure responsible resource extraction.

Satellite Eyes on Mine Operations

1
SAR Constellation
Radar satellites detect millimetre ground deformation
2
Downlink
Raw imagery relayed to ground station hourly
3
AI Processing
Algorithms flag subsidence, tailings breach risk
4
Mine Controller
Dashboard alerts trigger evacuation or halt

Radar satellites continuously scan mine terrain, feeding AI platforms that deliver real-time stability alerts to site controllers.

Applications

11.3.1 Mine Site Activity Monitoring — Continuous satellite surveillance of active mine sites to track equipment movement, pit expansion, infrastructure changes and operational tempo across a national mining estate.
11.3.2 Tailings Dam Surveillance — Continuous satellite monitoring of tailings storage facilities for ground deformation, seepage, slope instability and structural anomalies that precede catastrophic failure.
11.3.3 Stockpile Volume Estimation — Measuring the volume and mass of ore, coal, and mineral stockpiles at mine sites using satellite-derived 3-D surface models and change detection.
11.3.4 Illegal Mining Detection — Using multispectral, SAR and RF satellite data to detect, geolocate and monitor unauthorised artisanal and industrial mining activity across sovereign territory.
11.3.5 Mine Closure & Rehabilitation Verification — Using multispectral, SAR and LiDAR-derived satellite data to independently verify that closed mine sites are being rehabilitated to contractual and regulatory standards.
