Abstract: Mine surveying is very important basic work in mine safety production,it permeates the whole process of mine construction and production.The important role of mine surveying is analyzed and summed up in mine production.Mine surveying can show clearly direction of tunneling under the mine,ensure tunneling face not to enter dangerous area,provide scientific basis for designing coal pillar rationally,and provide strong secure for mine safety production.Besides,with"3S"technology applying widely in mine surveying,and digital mining area is built up and achieved,it is the signify opportunity of realizing branch of the course leap over developing.The level of mine safety production and management are promoted greatly.
