designed to provide them with enough information on surveys in both surface and underground mineral
exploration and exploitations.
Content

Correlation of surface and underground surveys. Underground traversing. Stope surveying. Transfer of
controls underground: Weisbach triangle method, Weiss quadrilateral method, gyro-theodolite method.
Transfer of height underground. Directional control for drives raises and inclines. Survey of diamond drill
bore holes. Application of photogrammetry in underground surveying. Quality control and assurance.
