AI-Powered Environmental Monitoring for Abandoned Mines

MineWatch is a data-driven monitoring platform designed to assess environmental risks posed by abandoned mines across Canada. By combining sensor data, drone analysis, and risk scoring, MineWatch helps governments and stakeholders prioritize remediation efforts and make informed land-use decisions.

Abandoned mines leak hazardous chemicals into surrounding environments, causing:

• Water contamination
• Soil and land degradation
• Air pollution
• Damage to local ecosystems

Traditional inspection methods are manual, costly, and slow. Many high-risk sites remain unmonitored for years.

MineWatch automates environmental monitoring by:

• Collecting real-time sensor data (water pH, air quality, etc.)
• Analyzing drone footage for leaks, fires, and spills
• Generating a risk score for each mine
• Visualizing everything through an interactive map dashboard

• Built with Mapbox
• View abandoned mines across Canada
• Clickable markers to open detailed site dashboards
• Search functionality to quickly locate mines

• Water quality monitoring (pH levels, contamination indicators)
• Air quality tracking
• Video analysis from drones
• Generated risk index per mine

• Canadian Mine Database
