The use of geographical information systems in the integration and visualization of mining data

摘要

Geographical information systems (GISs) provide sophisticated functionalities that can be used by the personnel in many aspects of the mining industry to visualize, analyse, and manipulate spatial and tabular data. This paper presents an experimental case study for HartebeestfonteiE Gold Mine. It shows how data from different computer systems can be brought together into a GIS by use of the Arc/Info and ArcView programs.
