This article describes how advances in geographic information and analysis systems have led to more streamlined and simple data capture processes, allowing increased accuracy, reliability and efficiency in mapping. Authors explain how having access to data at an earlier stage in a field program allows clients to make decisions in near real time, allowing for more refined target exploration. This streamlined process for data capture and interpretation ultimately reduces costs for exploration companies.
