Remote Structural Mapping: A case study from the Golddigger property, BC

ByAndrew LeRiche

One of the greatest challenges for exploration teams in remote and rugged environments is capturing detailed structural geology observations that can be integrated into downstream analysis. Often, we find ourselves on a ridge, observing the opposite mountain slope through binoculars, marveling at the exposed folds and faulting, but lacking the tools to record these observations…

Creating Digital Models of Rock Exposure for Geological and Geotechnical Mapping   

ByAndrew LeRiche

The launch of the new HiveMap digital geotechnical mapping software has allowed geoscience professionals to create visual representations of rock exposure from both above and below-surface environments. The datasets may be acquired through a variety of terrestrial and drone-based remote sensing methods, including photogrammetry and LiDAR solutions. Technology as simple as the iPhone in your…
