Apparatus and method for obtaining information from drilled holes for mining A mobile vehicle (11) is operated autonomously to approach a hole (13a) from which information is to be obtained. An onboard perception system (17) detects the exact location of the hole and an onboard sensor (26) is deployed from the vehicle into the hole. Perception system (17) comprises a number of scanners (23) carried by a mounting (24) fitted to the rear of the vehicle. A downhole sensor unit (18) movable along a swinging arm (19) carries downhole sensors selectively lowerable into the hole by operation of cable reels within the unit (18).
