Overview

India’s abundant mineral resources, managed by the Geological Survey of India (GSI) since 1851, hold significant potential for responsible mining. Geospatial technology along with frontier technologies especially digital twin is pivotal in mineral prospecting. As the world shifts towards a low-carbon economy, the mining sector is set to transform through digitalization and geospatial integration. Geological mapping is no longer limited to resource management; it now encompasses continuous Earth system monitoring, asset tracking and more, both above and below the surface. This presents a remarkable opportunity for the mining & exploration sector to explore new frontiers by leveraging technologies and measure the risk by virtually seeing the reality and making real – time decisions accordingly into mining workflows, thereby enhancing sustainability in immediate ecosystem.
