What a mine site tour earns
One capture, working across onboarding, safety, and the asset record.
Mining is one of Canada's largest industries, with about 200 producing mines and a minerals and metals sector worth $112 billion in direct GDP and employing 438,000 people directly in 2024. A 360 photo tour of a plant, mill, or remote camp is a navigable, dated record your HSE, operations, training, and procurement teams reuse for years, captured in as few trips to a fly-in site as the work allows.
Surface facilities and infrastructure
Surface plant, workshops, laydown, fuel and power infrastructure, and surrounding site layout, documented exactly as it stands for planning, integrity, and capital reference.
Camps and accommodations
Fly-in camp, dining, and accommodation blocks captured so incoming rotations know where they sleep, eat, and muster before they ever land on site.
Contractor and worker onboarding
New crews and contractors walk the site from a hazard-tagged tour before the flight in, learning layout, access routes, and hazard zones, so a costly rotation starts productive. With average mining compensation near $146,000 a year, an unproductive first rotation is real money.
Safety and emergency orientation
Muster point and egress familiarization, hazard communication, and pre-arrival safety walkthroughs, so leads brief crews on a hazardous, access-controlled site before anyone arrives.
As-built and asset records
A dated, navigable record of plant and surface assets as they actually stand, for engineering reference, capital planning, and insurance, available air-gapped and on-premise.
Remote sites, sensitive data
Built for a remote, access-controlled site.
Two things make a mine different from an ordinary photo job: it is remote and fly-in, and its records can be sensitive. We answer both. We scope each engagement from a recorded remote walkthrough first, confirm travel and mobilization up front, then capture in as few trips as the work allows, controlling the cost and carbon of a fly-in or long drive-in rotation. Where the records are security-sensitive, we deliver an on-premise, no-cloud, single-tenant tour your operation owns outright, so site imagery never leaves your controlled network.
We are direct about our posture. We are ISN registered (ISNetworld), insured with $5M CGL and E&O, and WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. We do not currently hold COR or SECOR certification, and we will not claim a prequalification we cannot evidence. We work within your safety and orientation program and confirm fit before any mobilization. Air-gap is offered factually, as a capability for the minority of sites that require it, never as fear-selling.

Who we build for
Four roles at the mine, four reasons to call.
Immersive site documentation is already established practice in mining: a 2024 industry survey found roughly 90% of mining organisations using or piloting digital twins, and major operators run VR for onboarding and emergency drills. Each role below starts from a different search and a different budget line, and each clears the same two gates most photo vendors never address: remote-site access and a data-residency answer.
Mine and site HSE lead
"contractor orientation virtual tour mine" Brief every incoming crew on layout, access, hazard zones, and muster points before the flight in, so safety orientation does not start cold on a live site.
Operations and maintenance superintendent
"as-built mill tour for capital planning" Keep a dated, navigable record of the plant and mill as they actually stand, so remote engineers and capital planners can review the asset without a trip.
Training and onboarding lead
"fly-in mine site familiarization tour" Familiarise new workers and contractors with a remote site, its layout, and its hazards before a costly rotation, improving readiness and cutting wasted travel.
Procurement and contracts
"data residency virtual tour Canada" Major operators require ISNetworld registration before any contractor works on site, a gate we already clear, then we settle the corporate security and IT gate with a documented on-premise, single-tenant, air-gapped option no cloud-only vendor can supply.

How the capability fits
From a remote scope to a documented site you own.
Mining work is remote, scheduled around operations, and often sensitive, so we run it that way. We settle remote access, travel, and data residency up front, prove value on a bounded pilot, and only expand if the pilot earns the rollout.
1
Remote scoping first
We scope from a recorded remote walkthrough before anyone mobilizes, so trips to a fly-in or drive-in site are confirmed up front and kept to as few as the work allows.
2
Pilot, then expand
A bounded industrial pilot on one plant, mill, or camp proves the format and the security posture before a multi-area, multi-phase site program.
3
Onboard before the flight in
We deliver a hazard-tagged onboarding tour crews can walk from anywhere, so a costly rotation lands already familiar with layout, access, and muster points.
4
Air-gapped if required
Where information-security policy forbids cloud imagery, we deliver on-premise, single-tenant, with no public-internet dependency, full data ownership, and Canadian data residency.
Oil and gas, utilities, and power share the same remote posture and the same data-residency answer. See the full industrial and energy lane
Scoped, not a fixed package
An industrial pilot, scoped to your site.
Canada is a world-leading producer of potash, uranium, niobium, cadmium, and palladium, and mineral exports reached $153 billion in 2024, so these are large, capital-heavy operations from the Sudbury nickel basin to the Quebec gold belt to Saskatchewan potash. This is not the $7,000 commercial floor and it is not a photo package. A full-site mining program can run well into seven figures across multiple phases, and those deals are rare and lumpy, scoped through procurement rather than closed off a web form. So most mining engagements start as a bounded pilot that proves value, and a remote scope, before any rollout.

Questions
Mining questions.
How do you document a remote, fly-in mine site?
We scope the work from a recorded remote walkthrough first, confirm travel and mobilization up front, then capture in as few site visits as the work allows. That keeps the cost and carbon of a fly-in or long drive-in rotation under control, and it means a remote operating site carries the fewest possible trips. We bring an ISN registered Canadian field crew and work within your access and orientation program.
Can the tour be used for contractor and worker onboarding?
Yes, this is one of the strongest reasons mining operations call. A navigable 360 tour familiarises new workers and contractors with a remote site, its layout, its hazard zones, and its muster points before the flight in. Crews land already oriented, so a costly rotation starts productive and safety orientation does not begin cold on a live site. The same tour serves camp and accommodation familiarization for incoming rotations.
Can a mine tour be delivered without the cloud (air-gap and data residency)?
Yes. For security-sensitive records we deliver an on-premise, single-tenant, air-gapped 360 photo tour with no public-internet dependency, so site imagery never leaves your controlled network, with full data ownership and Canadian data residency. The cloud-only 3D platforms structurally cannot match it; Matterport publicly states it offers no local or on-premise hosting. We offer air-gap as a capability for the minority of sites that require it, not as the default.
Are you ISN registered and insured? Do you hold COR or SECOR?
We are ISN registered (ISNetworld), carry $5M CGL and E&O insurance, and are WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and our crews are escort-ready for site orientation and PPE rules. We are direct about what we do not hold: we do not currently carry COR or SECOR certification, and we will not claim a prequalification we cannot evidence. If your site requires a specific program, tell us in scoping and we will confirm fit before any mobilization.
What does a mining pilot cost, and how does it expand?
Mining work is a scoped industrial pilot, not the $7,000 commercial floor and not a photo package. Pilots start at $500,000 for a bounded scope on one plant, mill, or camp. If the pilot earns it, the program expands to a phased, multi-area site rollout. A full-site program can run well into seven figures, and those deals are rare, lumpy, and scoped through procurement, not closed off a web form. We confirm final scope and price in a qualified call.
How do you minimise trips and impact on an operating site?
We scope from a recorded remote walkthrough before anyone mobilizes, plan the capture against your operating schedule, and bring a small, escort-ready crew so the footprint on a live site stays minimal. Fewer trips means lower travel and mobilization cost and a lower carbon footprint for fly-in and drive-in operations, which is green and low-carbon by default. We confirm travel and access in scoping so there are no surprises on the day.
