Mine surveying?
Answer:
Surveying in mining serves several purposes:
1. Geophysical surveys indicate where ore/minerals are most likely to be found. Surveyors guide the mining operations to those locations.
2. The quantities of ore/minerals mined must be determined as a part of the business operation. Surveyors determine those quantities.
3. In underground mines, the location of the excavations must be documented - to make sure that the operations are conducted in areas for which there is a legal right to take ore/minerals, for public record of the mine locations, to map hazardous conditions, etc.
4. In underground mines, often there are areas that are to be avoided. There was an accident a few years ago that was caused by inaccutate surveying and mapping - resulting in flooding of an active mine.
