This half-day session brings together representatives from the mining industry alongside collaborators working at the intersection of Earth observation (EO) and raw-materials extraction. Through concrete use case demonstrations, speakers will explore how satellite-based monitoring and analysis support various applications in the mining sector, including risk assessment and valorisation of mining waste deposits. Attention will also be given to the business case for the adoption of these technologies.
The session will also open a dialogue on user needs for EO data and services within the sector, surfacing the practical requirements, data gaps, and integration challenges that mining operators face when adopting EO-based solutions. Attendees can expect a mix of real-world use cases and forward-looking discussion, offering insight into both the current state of EO adoption in mining and the pathways to scaling its use further.
