<p>Gold Fields, a prominent mining company in Ghana, has successfully integrated WingtraOne drones into its surveying operations at the Tarkwa and Damang gold mines. This strategic upgrade from traditional fixed-wing drones addresses the challenges of belly landings and limited operational spaces. The WingtraOne's vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities have streamlined workflows, enabling efficient mapping of large areas, monitoring of village expansion, accurate measurement of storage facilities, and regular stockpile and pit surveys.</p>
<p>The adoption of WingtraOne drones has significantly improved operational efficiency and safety, supported by comprehensive training and world-class support from Wingtra's distributor partner, TerraCam. This collaboration ensures seamless operation, providing Gold Fields with access to hardware, software, spares, and ongoing support, even amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
