Mines Survey

Overview

At SkyHawk Aerial Survey, we provide end-to-end drone-based surveying solutions for the mining industry across Rajasthan and all over India. With 10+ years of survey expertise, we have grown from Total Station and DGPS surveys to advanced DGCA-certified drone operations. Our surveys strictly follow IBM SOP compliance to ensure acceptance in regulatory submissions.

The Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession (Second Amendment) Rules, 2024 have made drone surveys mandatory for mining leases. Lessees must now submit Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and Orthomosaic maps annually, and before submitting or modifying mining plans.

We support mining companies, lease holders, and government bodies like Indian Bureau of Mines, RMMC, RSMML, RSMET, NMET, and state mining departments, by delivering accurate, reliable, and legally compliant survey outputs.
