Student teams will use ArcGIS to make maps for your organization. They can provide you with an updated property map, a drilling plan, and a digitized map. This assignment provides students with an opportunity to practice the basic ArcGIS skills required for work in the mineral exploration/mining industry.

Phase 1 – Project Plan: Students will receive pertinent information and data from your organization and develop a completion plan. Communication between students and organization to confirm: maps (and may be GIS files) the organization needs and some important dates (e.g., dates for the following: define and understand the requirements of the maps; gather data from organization necessary for students to make the maps; submit draft maps for organization's feedback; submit final maps). Students may submit the final maps as early as at the end of October if required by your organization.

Phase 2 – Project Execution: Students will use ArcGIS to make maps you need. Teams may periodically communicate with your organization representative(s) as needed.

Phase 3 - Outcome - Maps: The final project deliverables are several maps (GIS files for the maps can be provided as well) that may be required for your organization's assessment reports.
