Spotlight on star IPO Sun Silver’s Nevada project amid impending silver supply crunch

Employing satellite technology in the exploration for – and eventual development of – underground mineral deposits has two distinct advantages.

The technology has the ability to generate early geological data which is superior to that of more expensive and time consuming ground surveys, geochemistry and drilling. Satellites can also assist with project management and ore body extensions while a mine is being established. Fundamentally, satellite scanning facilitates geological discoveries by mapping underground structures as well as identifying mineral deposits and rock formations. This technology not only supports the evaluation of ore resources, but also monitors subsurface features such as groundwater and soil moisture levels, which are crucial for environmental management and sustainability.
