Drone training for Mining
Mining runs on survey data, and drones deliver it faster, safer and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. We certify the crews who fly on mine sites across Australia.
How mining teams use drones
Stockpile surveying
Volumetric measurement and inventory tracking without survey crews on foot.
Blast monitoring
Pre- and post-blast face surveys with survey-grade photogrammetry.
Tailings & dam inspection
Regular condition monitoring of tailings storage facilities and water dams.
Exploration mapping
Rapid terrain and outcrop mapping across tenements and exploration leases.

Training built for mining
Mining companies were among the first heavy adopters of commercial RPAS in Australia, and the use case has only expanded: stockpile volumetrics, blast face surveying, tailings dam inspection, haul road condition monitoring, exploration mapping and safety overwatch. Droneit has trained crews from Thiess, Glencore, BHP and Rio Tinto contractors, and we design training around the realities of operating on active mine sites.
Mine site operations demand more than a basic RePL. Crews work in controlled airspace near haul trucks and processing plants, often on remote FIFO rosters, and the training covers risk assessment for hazardous areas, NOTAM coordination for site helicopter traffic, and the AROC radio work that keeps your pilots safe around aerial survey and medevac aircraft.
We run group bookings for mining crews with single invoicing, and can schedule dedicated training days that work around swing rosters. Theory is fully online with unlimited AI tutoring, so your people study between swings and attend practicals together on their off-week.
