Mining & Exploration
Mining spans a long lifecycle — exploration, development, operation, compliance, and closure — and each stage is a remote-sensing problem. Explorers need to find alteration before drilling; operators and ministries need frequent, site-level visibility into what is actually happening on the ground; regulators need to track environmental impact and verify reported production.
Historically this meant stitching together expensive tasked hyperspectral for minerals, occasional commercial DEMs for volumetrics, and manual photo-interpretation for change — none of it frequent, global, or affordable at country scale.
EarthToDate brings the whole lifecycle onto one continuously-updated data layer. Surface Mineral Map targets exploration; Mining Monitoring delivers typed, validated detection of every site; BaseDEM supports both drill-pad terrain and operational volumetrics; and enhanced visual and spectral imagery provides the frequent base picture that ties it together.
