    General Manager – Iron Mask Aerotech (Pvt.) (Ltd.)


    Speaker:
    Tatenda S. Mafara

    An avid drone enthusiast with an extensive background in land


    survey and geomatics. From architecture to production, this
    passion for disruptive technologies coupled with a BSc. Honors
    Degree in Geo-Informatics and Surveying has helped Tatenda
    gain international work experience in cadastral and engineering
    surveying. He is a driven individual with vast knowledge and skill
    in a variety of geospatial analysis and management applications.
    A Licensed drone pilot with experience operating fixed-wing and
    multi-rotor systems.

    His great love for the RPAS technology and its broad applications
    in Remote Sensing and surveying has seen him start Iron Mask

    OUR MINING SOLUTION

    Drone technology is no-longer in the future – it is here, today and we


    are exploring its unlimited potential in mining. Our mining solutions
    deliver significant value for mining businesses. The cost – effective
    solutions have replaced labour intensive methods of inspection,
    mapping, exploration and surveying. These solutions include:

    • Drone Magnetic Surveys for Exploration have proved to be


    effective in mapping of possible trends of mineral deposits. The
    insights that complement other geophysical exploration tools e.g.,
    seismic, ground penetrating radar & induced polarization

    • Mapping & Surveying of the entire mining area and ensure up-to-
    date site plans and change detection in the structure of the mine
    ( landslides, damages to infrastructure)

    • Pit & Pile Inventory Management – Volume


    assessments of stockpiles, dumps and pits that
    allow for reliable tracking of the movement of
    material.

    Understanding Geophysical
    Magnetic Surveys

    Why choose drone mag

    Immense Opportunities
    UNDERSTANDING
    Drones
    The term “drone” usually refers to any unpiloted aircraft. Sometimes referred to as “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles"
    (UAVs), these crafts can carry out an impressive range of tasks, ranging from military operations to package
    delivery. Drones have of late been developed to perform geophysical surveys; more specifically aeromagnetic
    surveys.

    Fixed Wing Multi- Rotor Hybrid (VTOL)


    UNDERSTANDING
    Geophysical Magnetic Surveys
    The interaction of the Earth’s Magnetic Field with magnetically susceptible bodies introduces variations (high of
    Low) of the earth’s local magnetic field resulting from the magnetic properties of the underlying rocks and
    minerals.

    Magnetic Surveys are performed to investigate the subsurface to improve understanding of the regional or local
    geological setting and history or to identify POTENTIAL ECONOMIC RESOURCES.

    To measure the Earth’s magnetic field intensity and vector components Magnetometers are used. A few different
    types of magnetometers are currently in use and these include: fluxgate, proton precision and optically pumped
    magnetometer.
    MAGNETIC SURVEY
    METHODS
    An aeromag survey is a common type of geophysical survey carried out using a magnetometer aboard or towed behind
    an aircraft. The principle is like a magnetic survey carried out with a drone (Drone Mag), but allows much larger areas
    of the Earth's surface to be covered quickly for regional reconnaissance.

    The main difference between the two airborne magnetic surveys and ground mag is that ground magnetics relates to
    the use of a hand-held magnetometer and pacing on the ground to cover the area of interest.

    Ground Mag Drone Mag Aeromag


    Why Choose
    Drone mag offers numerous advantages over both Aeromag & Ground magnetics and is posed to be the go-to
    Geophysical Survey solution of the future.
    Drone Magnetics offers among others the following:

    Ground Mag AeroMag

    Eliminates need to clear obstacles to open Easier to deploy within Survey Area
    survey lines

    10x faster coverage of Survey Areas (15 minutes Less operational overheads for areas below 3500
    to cover 10 Ha) hectares

    More consistent straight survey lines & line More consistent straight survey lines & line
    Spacing Spacing

    Comparable resolution with ground mag data Much higher resolution with ground mag data

    Less in-field Man hours More Affordable

    Safer data collection operations Tighter Terrain following capabilities to


    maintain height above ground

    OPPORTUNITIES

    Gain insights that complement other


    geophysical exploration tools e.g., seismic,
    ground penetrating radar & induced
    polarization

    Track movement of material from


    pit to plant to dumps and stay up
    to date with inventory data.
