What to know locally in Welkom
Mines in Virginia and Odendaalsrus ask about commercial and thermal drones for shaft, conveyor and tailings checks. Families in Riebeeckstad buy folding camera drones for school events and weekends at the pans. Fine dust blowing off the tailings is hard on motors and gimbals, so ask the seller about cleaning kits. A used drone from a mine contractor may have many hours on it, so ask for the logs.
