Mine Surveying
Surveying is a central function on a mine. Mine surveyors provide information to all mining disciplines. Mine surveyors work in the mining science and technology fields and their key focus is on measurements, calculations and mapping for all stages of the mining process. They are involved in the accurate measurement of areas and volumes mined and the precise representation of surface and underground mining on mine plans. They advise mining engineers about geological areas that can be profitably mined. The Department of Mining Engineering and Mine Surveying at UJ has strong links with the mining industry, including the Department of Minerals and Energy Affairs and the Institute of Mine Surveyors South Africa. It is the only department in South Africa offering a full-time contact programme in Mine Surveying. This equips graduates to competently carry out the duties of a mine surveyor.
