atural resources lay the foundation of the global economic landscape, allowing for powering everything from energy grids to industrial manufacturing. This sector, however, is currently undergoing changes to adjust to the new reality. In a world where sustainability is not just a fancy word, the industry must find ways to reach high efficiency while mitigating its ecological footprint and complying with strict regulations. In this setting, the utilisation of high-resolution satellite imagery for analytics has surfaced as an innovative solution, garnering growing interest for its significant influence on refining precision across various domains, such as mining resource management. This technology not only promotes sustainable practices but also boosts operational capabilities.
In practical terms, remote sensing is crucial for numerous sectors, including mining. For instance, it aids agricultural professionals in increasing crop yields

Analytics based on high-res satellite images has emerged as a forward-thinking solution, increasingly sought after for its impact on enhancing precision across different spheres, including resource management in mining, explains Maksym Sushchuk of EOS Data Analytics.
and plays a vital role in managing responses to natural disasters. In addition to the increased accessibility of satellite data, companies can now obtain satellite images for free. However, to extract valuable insights, it is essential to consult with specialists. The mining industry, in particular, has greatly benefited from satellite imagery and other forms of Earth observation data. This sector has leveraged such data for a variety of purposes including monitoring of mining sites, planning of exploratory surveys, discovery of natural resources, and surveillance of environmental conditions. One of the primary uses of high-quality satellite images in mining involves the exploration for new resources through scanning for geological signs that are typically associated with specific minerals. Satellite imagery also enables mining companies to precisely focus their exploration efforts, improving both cost-efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, geospatial analysts utilise these images to
