DRONE AERIAL SURVEYS

Impala are currently providing aerial surveys for exploration and mining companies using the latest drone technology. We’re applying this technology to:

• Historic tailing dump surveys to determine volumes for Mineral Resource estimation;

• High resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) with post processing to remove man made features and vegetation, critical for a range of exploration and Mineral Resource estimation functions;

• Super high resolution aerial imagery to aid geological/structural mapping and interpretation;

• “Before and after” environmental monitoring surveys

• 4K Aerial video and HD imagery for marketing and presentations

Our surveys are:

Fast- typical turn around time from arriving on site to receiving the data of two weeks, highly portable equipment;

Highly accurate- our drones use Hassleblad cameras (the same company that made cameras for NASA’s moon landing) and depending of the size of the survey area, can produces images sharp enough to see the hand lens you left on that outcrop in 2015. Reach RS positioning systems allow us to produce surveys accurate to the centimeter scale;

Economical- mobilisation for the cost of an economy airfare, typical exploration area surveys completed within a week, making for an extremely affordable product.

ACTIVE AERIAL SURVEYS

We’re currently on site with ETech Metals on their Eureka REE project producing a super high resolution DEM and aerial imagery. This data set will provide accurate topographic control for ETech’s upcoming Mineral Resource update and provide base maps to aid structural mapping and help accurately locate trenches. In addition, generating a raft of aerial photography and video material for marketing purposes.

Including setting up ground control points, the survey was completed in under 4 days and covers an area of approximately 5km2
