Sentry Tracks Mine Movements

The new Maptek™ Sentry system provides intuitive visualisation and trend analysis tools, enabling better understanding of surface movements within mines.

Hillgrove Resources Limited Kanmantoo Copper Mine is a 10-year open cut mine producing 20,000 tpa of copper metal with associated gold and silver. The mine, in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, has been trialling Maptek Sentry since late 2013.

Sentry setup

Sentry is a reliable laser-based system for accurately detecting change in real time. The latest I-Site 8820 laser scanner was positioned on a permanent bollard in a newly opened pit, approximately 200m from a wall of concern. Weekly scans were taken to build up baseline data.
