Hi-tech survey sheds new light on Mount Isa mining
Glencore has used LiDAR technology to gather comprehensive aerial imagery and topographic information from its Mount Isa Mines and George Fisher Mining operations.
The airborne survey covered the general lease, production areas and tailings dams as well as Lake Moondarra and Rifle Creek.
LiDAR,
otherwise known as Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that
uses light
in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges and variable distances.
Glencore said the light pulses measured millions of points per square kilometre and, combined with other data recorded by the airborne system, were used to generate highly accurate. . .
