About this webinar
The digital transformation of the mining industry has revolutionized the way organizations conduct mining operations, with a focus on enhancing productivity, efficiency, and safety. One of the critical components driving mining innovation is geospatial data and intelligence.
Join us for the first in a new series of interactive events that will dig deep into this transformation and how mining organizations can use geospatial data to its fullest potential.
The webinar was moderated by Steven Ramage, founder and CEO of Réseau and a member of the Governing Board of Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa). He was joined in conversation by Lisa-Maria Rebelo, Lead Scientist at DE Africa, and Prof. Amos T. Kabo-Bah, Associate Professor at the University of Energy and Natural Resources. All shared their unique insights and experience following decades within the geospatial and mining industries.
We were also very pleased to be joined by Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor, the current Minister of Lands and Natural Resource and Member of Parliament for the people of Damongo Constituency, Savannah Region, in Ghana who gave a special introduction to the webinar.
You will learn about:
- Challenges within the mining industry related to physical, natural, environmental, and regulatory issues.
- How to leverage geospatial data to address these challenges.
- Real-world examples of how to implement geospatial data in mining operations.
