“…Determining the three-dimensional location of checkpoints, geochemical sampling, geological structures and mineralization zones are precisely required in all stages of mining from exploration to reclamation (Shekarian et al, 2017;Battulwar et al, 2020). Finding the location of the geological structures orebodies and opening underground, however, is a different challenge in the mining and even oil and gas industry (Asgari et al, 2019;Rahimi et al, 2019). The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used in open pit mining for surveying with high accuracy of 2 cm horizontally and 3 cm vertically (National Research Council, 1992).…”

The integration of computer-based technologies interacting with industrial machines or home appliances through an interconnected network, for teleoperation, workflow control, switching to autonomous mode, or collecting data automatically using a variety of sensors, is known as Internet of Things (IoT). When applied inside an industrial context, it is possible to immediately benefit from the analytics obtained, contributing to process optimization, machine health, the safety of workers and asset management. IoT can assist real-time platforms in remotely monitoring and operating a complex production system with minimal intervention of humans. Hence it can be beneficial for hazardous industries, such as mining, by increasing the safety of personnel and equipment while reducing operation costs. An ideal smart automated mine could potentially be achievable by gradually taking advantage of IoT. Currently, different sensors are used in mine-related activities, such as geophones in exploration and blast control, piezometers in dewatering and toxic gas detectors in working frontlines. However, a fully integrated automated system is challenging in practice due to infrastructural limitations in communication, data management and storage. Moreover, the tendency of mining companies to continue with traditional methods instead of relying on untested novel techniques decelerates this progress. In this study, the adaptability of the mining industry to IoT systems and its current development is reviewed. Significant challenges of this progress are investigated and recommendations to develop a comprehensive model suited for different mining sections such as exploration, operation and safety considering flexible technologies such as Wireless Sensor Networks and the introduction of Global Data Management.

“…The Zagros fold-thrust belt is classified into five tectonic fault zones from northeast to south-west based on topography and structural morphology, deformation, evidence, geostructural and regional seismology (Bordenave, 2014;Asgari et al, 2019). Five tectonic zones are the high-Zagros thrust belt, folded belt, the Dezful embayment, the Zagros coastal plain, Persian Gulf low land and Mesopotamian, which are separated by deep and discontinuous thrusts (Hessami et al, 2001;Asgari et al, 2019). The only possibility of exposing hydrocarbon minerals to the surface is provided with a folded belt of these five tectonic zones (Sepehr and Cosgrove, 2004).…”

“…The Zagros fold-thrust belt is also divided into various geological regions from the north-west to south-east: The Lurestan, the Dezful embayment and the Fars region ( Fig. 3) (Sepehr et al, 2006;Asgari et al, 2019). The stratigraphic and structural properties in these three geologic regions are different from each other and created a distinct folding and structural type (Sepehr and Cosgrove, 2004).…”

The Gilan-e-Gharb block is known as a prospective area for hydrocarbon resources in the form of oil, gas in deep potential and natural bitumen (Gilsonite) on the surface. Natural bitumen is not clearly detectable by geochemical or geophysical methods. Hereupon, identifying high potential areas for further exploration, attempted with the help of AHP-Fuzzy and TOPSIS methods. The comprehensive database of geological and geostructural records, satellite imagery analysis by remote sensing and mine indexes counted as the inputs for this method. First, the lithological unit as the main mineralization hosts determined with respect to the dominant geological structures as a factor of controlling natural bitumen placement (fold, fracture and faults) in the Gilan-e-Gharb block. The Gachsaran, Asmari, Pabdeh and Gurpi Formations identified as the most important lithological units for mineralization. Placement and distribution of natural bitumen mineralization in the form of mine indexes are added to the geology database. Finally, we assigned appropriate weights to applied information layers using Analytical Hierarchy Processing (AHP) based on knowledgeable information and field studies to synthesize exploratory data. Then, we used the FTOPSIS method to define the Positive Ideal Solution (FPIS, A+) that allows maximizing the beneficial characteristics and minimizing the impediment characteristics and the Negative Ideal Solution (FNIS, A-) that minimizes the beneficial characteristics and maximizes the impediment characteristics. This method, as a new approach in the exploration of minerals with a shortage of data, is applicable to other mineral deposits.
