Application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in Mining Exploration: A Case Study of Belvand Geotechnics
| Resumo: | The internship report focuses on how Belvand Geotechnics used Geographic Information System (GIS) to transform its mining exploration efforts in Cuanza-Sul/Angola. GIS is acknowledged as a key player in the mining industry, enhancing decision-making, logistical planning, and operational efficiency through enhanced spatial data processing and visualization. Belvand's use of GIS demonstrates its capacity to simplify the exploration process, which includes data integration. Furthermore, it takes a look at the benefits and outcomes of using GIS in mining exploration at Belvand. It emphasizes how GIS helps with decision-making, by combining various data sources, GIS provides a comprehensive view of geological and environmental conditions, which is critical for accurately identifying exploration locations and assessing potential environmental implications. Additionally, GIS plays an important role in engaging stakeholders by providing clear visual representations of exploration strategies, boosting transparency and collaborative efforts. On the other hand, it addresses the obstacles and constraints encountered when using GIS in mining exploration, such as issues with data quality, integration, and the need for technical competence as well as appropriate hardware and software resources. Belvand has tackled this vi challenge by creating tight data validation processes, investing in employee training, and exploring cloud-based solutions to enhance their computational capabilities. To summarize, it underlines GIS role in modernizing mining exploration processes, as well as its support to sustainable and responsible exploration endeavours. It suggests future advancements, including predictive analytics and the incorporation of machine learning, to further maximize GIS's potential. Recommendations for Belvand involve enhancing data integration, adopting real-time monitoring, and expanding spatial analysis tools to maintain its leading position in GIS supported mining exploration. All things considered, the internship report demonstrates how GIS has revolutionized mine exploration and highlights Belvand Geotechnics' commitment to using cutting-edge technology to improve exploration outcomes. |
