One of the foremost benefits of drone technology, specifically in the mining industry, is safety, as a UAV can monitor or even enter areas that may be dangerous to human life. UAV applications in the mining industry further include producing orthomosiacs (high-resolution aerial images taken using coordinates from global positioning satellite systems), three-dimensional models, digital surface models of openpit mines and quarries, as well as calculating volumes of extracted materials and stockpiles.

Another application within a mining context is mineral exploration – calculating resources and modelling catchment areas. Other applications include feasibility studies, pit and dump management, environmental assessments and management, and hydrology
