To give emphasis on scientific and systematic exploitation of coal /


minerals and to ensure sustainability of the resources, mining industry has
realised the importance of technologies such as, GIS and Auto CAD for mining.
Use of GIS for mining has brought about a revolution by ensuring cost
efficient and detailed studies of the concerned area. GIS for mining help in creation of
maps that are an amalgamation of all the information regarding the concerned area.

Further, a system can be design to improve mine production


efficiency, provide data query, information analysis and technical decision
support for mine. It can be a GIS integrated system based on AutoCAD that can
support image-text interactive queries and automatic drawing.
For this a basic knowledge of GIS software and Auto CAD software is
required.
