3D Laser Scan And Aerial Drone Survey To Be Completed At Rosebud Project
VANCOUVER - Kingman Minerals Ltd. reported that it has engaged Burgex Mining Consultants of Sandy, Utah to complete a 3D laser scan and aerial drone survey of the Mohave Project in preparation for the upcoming Phase I drill campaign. Burgex provides a comprehensive suite of mining consulting services and Kingman completed two prior underground reconnaissance and exploration programs (Phase I and II) with the company in the Spring of 2020.
The data from the aerial drone survey and 3D laser scan provided Kingman with a detailed surface and underground model of the Property. The Company will be able to use this information to create maps and a 3D model that can be used for planning the existing permitted drill program, including hole placement as well as any future programs. Drone surveys are useful for the accurate location of the drill hole collars in 3D space and are useful as a control for the geologic mapping and the 3D modeling of the old surface workings while giving Kingman a very tight fix on the shaft collars and orientation for the underground shafts and drifts on the various levels of the mine.
"The underground survey allows us to view the mine workings in 3D and to better plan our drill hole locations. It has already resulted in minor changes to the angles of the 5 planned drill holes. The changes make it certain that the holes have been placed for the maximum benefit of the project and to help avoid the drill holes intersecting old mine workings. The drone survey was completed to tie the workings to the ground surface and to assist in planning future drilling, sampling, geophysical or geochemical exploration efforts", said, Brad Peek, MSc, CPG, Consulting Geologist.
