Abstract
Errors in the data points coordinates, which can be made during surveying or transfer of the data, can significantly mar efficiency of the mining operations and downgrade categories of the estimated resources and reserves. Therefore, it is important that surveying procedures are thoroughly monitored by the geological teams and quality of the data points location regularly checked and verified.
Geological teams evaluating mining projects and working at the operating mines need to assure that all the data points are located accurately, this includes drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trench and surface samples and also rock faces which were chosen for mapping.
