Google Earth Pro for Prospectors and Miners

Create and organize data in Google Earth Pro by building a hierarchical folder structure in My Places, including historical data such as 1980s pits and drill holes, and saving changes.

Explore Google Earth Pro layer data sets to reveal roads, places, borders, and photos, and assess terrain and topography by turning layers on and off.

Use the search bar in Google Earth Pro to zoom into locations, enter Ruth, Nevada, USA, and be directed to the location you typed, then explore nearby areas.

Learn how to add placemarks in Google Earth Pro by creating a Place Marks folder, adding placemark points, naming pits, adjusting properties, and saving My Places.

Create and measure paths in Google Earth Pro by drawing routes along existing roads, organizing them in a paths folder, and calculating distances in kilometers between placemarks.

Use the ruler function in Google Earth Pro to measure distances between two points, view map length and ground length, and switch units like kilometers for quick distance estimates.

Explore how to customize placemarks in Google Earth Pro by adjusting label color, size, and icons. Use the thumbtack options to apply blue circle markers and copy settings for placemarks.

Customize paths in Google Earth Pro to distinguish mining routes, adjust color and width via style and color, and manage multiple paths or delete unwanted ones.

Learn how to create maps in Google Earth Pro by saving images, customizing titles, legends, and placemarks, and adjusting map options for mine features.

Explore Google Earth Pro navigation tools and layers to view terrain, borders, photos, and roads, then create and customize a map with placemarks, paths, and polygons.

Create and analyze hard rock paths in Google Earth Pro by plotting a ridge and cross section, then view elevation profiles to assess slope and access for heavy equipment.

Explore elevation exaggeration in Google Earth Pro to identify alluvial placer targets by exaggerating terrain to 300%, studying drainage and ridges for prospecting.

Learn to use 300% vertical exaggeration in Google Earth Pro to place prospecting pits for an alluvial placer drainage, then convert coordinates to UTM and load them into GPS.

Explore elevation exaggeration in Google Earth Pro to reveal hard rock targets. Use vertical exaggeration of up to 300% to create hard rock target polygons with place marks along ridges.

Identify hard rock and alluvial targets using elevation exaggeration in Google Earth Pro, set terrain layers and vertical exaggeration, and create accurate maps with testing locations, borders, and legends.

Set up a module four workspace in Google Earth Pro by creating a desktop folder, building Lasseter's Reef subfolders (access, alluvial, hard rock), and adding a green Amata placemark.

Use google earth pro to identify lasseter's reef gold mine features with layers (photos, borders, labels, roads), locate gunbarrel highway near amata, and map an 11 km northeast path.

Create a hard rock grade map in Google Earth Pro, customize the legend with grade ranges for samples, relabel entries, then save a printer-friendly image with terrain on.

Explore satellite imagery datasets and historical imagery in Google Earth Pro, adjust elevation exaggeration, and create cross sections and elevation profiles to guide alluvial and hard rock sampling.

Open Google Earth Pro, create a simple table of samples with UTM coordinates and types, and generate a map of new target sites with a legend.

Develop a project evaluation and target report for Lasseter's Reef using the provided template, integrating Google Earth Pro maps, tables, and figures, and compare data to guide greenfield exploration.
