Mineral exploration and mine planning increasingly depend on remote sensing to target prospective areas and monitor environmental impact; this course builds those skills for practitioners in the extractives sector. Participants work with multispectral imagery and geological data throughout.
This course builds GIS and remote sensing capability specific to mining and exploration workflows, covering multispectral and hyperspectral imagery interpretation for mineral alteration mapping, structural geology mapping from satellite and DEM data, and GIS-based exploration target prioritisation using multi-criteria overlay of geological, geochemical, and geophysical layers.
Participants also cover the environmental monitoring side of mining - land disturbance and rehabilitation tracking using multi-temporal imagery - along with building the concession and tenement maps and exploration reports that regulatory and investor reporting requires.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Remote Sensing Fundamentals for the Extractives Sector
Day 2: Multispectral Imagery for Mineral Alteration Mapping
Day 3: Structural Geology from Satellite and Elevation Data
Day 4: Multi-Criteria Exploration Target Prioritization
Day 5: Integrating Geological, Geochemical and Geophysical Data
Day 6: Monitoring Land Disturbance and Rehabilitation
Day 7: Concession and Tenement Mapping
Day 8: Environmental Impact Monitoring
Day 9: Building Exploration Progress Reports
Day 10: Applied Exploration and Monitoring Project
This course is for geologists and GIS professionals who use remote sensing to target exploration areas and monitor mining's environmental footprint.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to apply GIS and remote sensing techniques to mineral exploration and mine environmental monitoring.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the GIS and Remote Sensing in Mining and Exploration Training programme, you'll be able to interpret multispectral imagery for mineral alteration mapping, map structural geology features from satellite and elevation data, prioritise exploration targets using multi-criteria overlay analysis, and integrate geological, geochemical, and geophysical data layers in gis. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
This course is for geologists and GIS professionals who use remote sensing to target exploration areas and monitor mining's environmental footprint. Typical delegates include Exploration Geologists and Geoscientists, GIS Analysts in mining and extractives companies, Environmental and Compliance Officers in mining operations, Mine Planning and Land Management Officers, Government Mining and Geological Survey Officers, and Consultants supporting exploration and permitting.
