Satellite imaging of remote mining operations can be used to track and visually represent surface changes, ranging from the areal extent of surface operations, surface water, surface disturbances and the addition or removal of surface infrastructure – a vital component of mining management amid Covid-19-related travel restrictions being put in place by a growing number of countries around the world.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has led to most countries imposing travel bans, travel restrictions and quarantine measures on its citizens, thereby making it increasingly difficult for personnel to monitor remote mining operations.
