The Partnership: Leica, Locata Corporation & Newmont Boddington Gold

• Project commenced in 2008 to develop a ground based guidance system utilizing Locata’s patented Loclite technology.

• A working Partnership formed with Newmont Boddington Gold in 2010 to progress the project and adapt for real world mining conditions

How it works

Jps Receiver uses the GNSS satellites that it can see and augments this with ground-based

Jps LocataLites. Replicates $100M satellite constellation

More satellites and DOP is improved

What/Who is Locata?

Locata Corporation (locatacorp.com) is based in Canberra, Australia.

Invented the world’s first radiolocation technology which replicates GPS in a ‘local’, rather than a ‘global’, area – hence GPS 2.0

Granted 123 patents around their core IP – TimeLocTM

Enabling local-area ultra high-precision time synchronization of LocataLite transceivers to within ±3 nanoseconds.

Leica Geosystems has partnered with Locata to deliver augmentation products exclusively to the mining industry to at least October 2014.

Locata have been awarded a sole-source contract with the USAF to equip, install and support their UHARS (Ultra High Accuracy Reference System) – a truth system to test GPS.

LocataNet Configuration and Installation

Designing a Network

• Where are the areas with GPS availability issues?

• Signals must be line of sight, so shape of the pit needs to be considered

• One or more pits?

• Consider pit edge obstructions

• LocataLites need to be above the receivers

• Location of antennas on the machine or mast need to be considered
