Industries — Mining & Resources
From exploration to rehabilitation — spatial intelligence for resources
Mining operations run on ground truth. Airfree integrates survey, earth observation, tenure, and environmental data into a single authoritative platform — from the first exploration peg to final bond release.
Platform Capabilities
Built for the full mine life cycle
Every capability is connected — survey control, volumetrics, tenure, and environmental data share a common spatial fabric, eliminating the re-projection and reconciliation work that consumes survey teams today.
Mine Survey
Sub-centimetre survey control referenced to GDA2020/ITRF. Total station, GNSS, and drone survey workflows integrated directly into your mine design environment.
Stockpile Volumetrics
Automated volume calculation from drone photogrammetry and LiDAR scans. Confidence intervals, cut-fill analysis, and ore grade correlation from field sensor tagging.
Drill Hole Management
Collar, survey, and assay data in a single spatial repository. Visualise drill programs in 3D, validate against tenure boundaries, and export to Leapfrog or Micromine.
Tenure Management
Live integration with State mining registers. Track exploration licences, mining leases, and native title overlays against your operational footprint with automated expiry alerts.
Environmental Monitoring
Continuous telemetry from field sensors — dust, noise, water quality, groundwater levels — overlaid with spatial context and threshold-triggered notifications.
Haul Road Optimisation
Network analysis across real terrain models. Minimise cycle times, tyre wear, and fuel burn across pit-to-ROM and ROM-to-plant corridors using live grade and condition data.
Rehabilitation Mapping
Multi-temporal satellite analysis tracks revegetation progress against approved rehabilitation plans. Automated reporting for condition assessments and bond reduction submissions.
Satellite Change Detection
InSAR-based ground deformation monitoring, optical change detection over active pits, and SAR coherence analysis for subsidence risk — updated on each satellite pass.
Safety & Risk
Spatial data as a safety system
Critical hazard information reaches the people who need it — in the pit, in the control room, and in the boardroom — from a single source of truth.
Hazard Mapping
Geotechnical instability zones, highwall risk classifications, and gas hazard extents maintained as authoritative spatial layers accessible from pit and control room.
Blast Exclusion Zones
Dynamic exclusion polygons issued from blast control, pushed to all mobile and fixed displays on site. Personnel location integration available via third-party cap lamp systems.
Tailings Dam Monitoring
Continuous InSAR deformation time-series, piezometer telemetry overlay, and automated ANCOLD-aligned reporting. Early warning thresholds configurable per dam class.
Key Products
Purpose-built products, not configured middleware
Each product in the Airfree portfolio was designed for the data volumes and accuracy requirements of professional survey and earth-observation workflows — not adapted from web mapping roots.

Every source your geoscientists already use
Airfree ingests, reprojects, and harmonises heterogeneous mining datasets into a consistent spatial fabric. Sensor, survey, and satellite data share the same coordinate reference and temporal model — no bespoke integration per instrument.
Compliance & Reporting
Audit-ready outputs, not manual exports
Regulatory deliverables are generated from the same spatial data that runs operations — no parallel reporting databases, no version reconciliation at lodgement time.
Mining Lease Data
Authoritative lease boundaries, condition polygons, and access restrictions drawn from State register feeds and maintained in real time against your operational layers.
Environmental Reporting
Automated generation of EMPs, annual environment reports, and noise/dust exceedance summaries from continuous monitoring data — formatted for State and Federal lodgement.
Tenure Registry
Exploration and mining tenement status tracked against granted, pending, and expired records. Overlap analysis flags operational areas at risk from third-party applications.
Integrations
Fits the tools your teams already run
Airfree is not a replacement for specialist mine-design software — it is the spatial backbone that feeds them. Certified connectors eliminate the file-format translation work that consumes geoscience and survey staff time.
