Geographic Information Systems in Mining: Applications and Management Potential

Hoang Thi Thuy

Abstract: In the modern mining industry, managing large-scale geological datasets requires advanced technological support. This paper introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a pivotal tool for collecting, storing, analyzing, and visualizing mining-related data. By leveraging GIS, mining operations can enhance resource evaluation, optimize extraction processes, and improve environmental monitoring. The article also explores how GIS integrates multi-source data and supports spatial modeling to facilitate strategic planning and sustainable mining management. This approach promotes a comprehensive, technology-driven framework for informed decision-making in the mining sector.

Keywords: GIS, mining management, spatial data, geological databases, resource monitoring
