Mining & Natural Resources
Optimize mining operations with geospatial data
Mining operations are remote, hazardous, and constantly changing — and the cost of a missed change, a safety incident, or a compliance gap is high. Field visits and visual inspections are expensive and slow, and exploration across large areas is harder still. SkyWatch gives mining teams the right data — multispectral, hyperspectral, and radar — to explore, monitor, and stay compliant from the desktop.
The platform
A unified platform for mine and resource monitoring
SkyWatch gives mining teams a single place to discover, buy, manage, and integrate geospatial data — no specialized expertise or multiple vendors required.
Discover imagery across providers
Access satellite, aerial, and drone imagery from a growing ecosystem of providers — without managing multiple vendors.
Purchase and task new data on demand
Order imagery when and where you need it, with transparent pricing and flexible tasking options.
Centralize and manage your imagery
Keep historical and current data organized, accessible, and ready for analysis across teams.
Integrate into your existing workflows
Use imagery directly in GIS platforms like ArcGIS, internal dashboards and analytics tools, and automated monitoring systems via API.
Replace costly field visits
Monitor site integrity and production — and identify areas for resource exploration or map the distribution of minerals — replacing costly visual inspections and field visits.
Map minerals and manage impact
Gather detailed mineral composition data with hyperspectral imagery, identify safety hazards, monitor environmental impact, and comply with regulatory requirements.
Use cases
