23 How we use this tech

24 CMS Units Optech CMS has been the ideal scanning solution for dangerous and inaccessible cavities in underground mining operations for years, improving safety by letting operators stand clear as the sensor head surveys. Laser Scanners The Faro focus3d laser scanner is a high speed laser scanner that collects several million spatial points in a matter of minutes.

28 Benefits Optimized drill design that provides for an exact match between drill rig and drill site. Minimized dilution and reduction in associated product cost build up. (Tramming, energy, Processing) Pinpoints sources of reduced mining head grade. Overall reduction in production cost and increase in quality volumes. Fuller utilization of geological information. More accurate extraction tonnage estimates measurements Utilizes expensive survey equipment in a cost effective manner. Changes mining mind set from chasing tons to chasing quality
