*7.3.2 Tools developed*

The database has been effectively built in a software called Access and can allow the geologists of a mining company to record the data from the field without compromising the reliability of the database, this through the form sets. The same database permit to keep records that help for the assessment of data collected from the field. The database can be coded and adapted for any mining company and project. Inside every mining projects and company, a special team is dedicated to design, manage and secure the database.

Speaking about GIS, mining company can use the same hierarchy of our tools to take all the power of GIS and their importance at the very planning phase where all the data to be used on the field are collected and put together to allow a field team to deploy themselves safely. But also to assess the data they bring in order to validate them. Some data can be wrong. To avoid a mining company to rely on them and fall in failure, the data must be assessed and validated. Tracking and waypoints are used for that at this stage. But GIS and database also help further for interpretations of the data and their behavior.
