## Stop risking people and production for basic site data

### See the ground before you clear it.

Plan access roads, drill pads, geotechnical surveys and cultural heritage work with current terrain models instead of guesswork.

### Make every blast and bucket count.

Track mine progress, highwalls, stockpiles and plants with repeatable flights, accurate cut/fill and AI‑powered volumes and hazards.

### Keep rail and rehab on the same page.

Monitor rail corridors, tailings, environmental KPIs and closure work from one shared, timestamped view of the entire mine.

## Capture every phase of the mine lifecycle

## DroneDeploy Aerial

(or let us do it for you)

### Drones

Our mining drone software captures high‑res RGB and thermal data across pits, stockpiles, tailings, and rail corridors with leading enterprise‑grade drones. Conduct simplified RTK/PPK workflows and automated GCP handling when survey‑grade accuracy is required.

## Frequently asked questions

## Is DroneDeploy the right fit
 for your operations?

Do we need licensed surveyors to use DroneDeploy?

You can start with operational surveys led by mine or production teams and bring survey in where high‑accuracy deliverables are required. DroneDeploy supports RTK/PPK, GCPs, and checkpoints so your survey group can sign off when it matters most.

How accurate are the maps and measurements?

With the right inputs – RTK or PPK, good control and checkpoints – DroneDeploy delivers highly accurate maps, DTMs and point clouds suitable for design conformance checks, volume reporting and regulatory submissions.

Can DroneDeploy really keep people out of high‑risk areas?

Yes. Mines use DroneDeploy to inspect highwalls, plants, tailings dams, and confined structures from the air and with ground robots – reducing the need for rope access, working at height, and confined space entry.

Can DroneDeploy meet our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. Enterprise mining customers use DroneDeploy as a central platform for flight operations and data because it offers encrypted data at rest and in transit, role‑based permissions, and enterprise‑grade controls including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

How does DroneDeploy help with stockpiles and inventory?

Regular, automated drone surveys paired with AI allow you to capture ROM and processed stockpiles quickly, strip away conveyors and equipment, and generate volumes and values in minutes instead of hours – without sending surveyors onto the pile.

What about tailings, environmental monitoring and closure?

DroneDeploy helps you track tailings dam condition, vegetation coverage and rehabilitation progress over time, providing clear context for regulators and stakeholders and reducing the cost and time of reconciliation inspections and reporting.
