History of techniques and instrumentation used for open stope surveying at Isa mine - 1989 - Land & Minerals Surveying 7(8) August 1989, 373-378(6) .

For more than 20 years there has been a requirement for surveying open stopes at Mount Isa, ranging from one-off situations in the early days, to a basis requirement for all copper stopes to be surveyed prior to filling of the void and with lead stopes being surveying as required. This paper describes the techniques and instrumentation used over this period, from the most basic to the present modern equipment.
