Helicopter mining exploration

I might be starting a new job in a few months doing mining exploration in northern Africa using an as350 b3 .
Can anyone enlighten me on what kind of flying this would be? can you give any useful tips?
I've been told you must fly very precisely like flying an ILS manually and on the end of the hook you have some kind of radar thing that surveys the ground.
how heavy is the survey radar? How long is line used? anyone already doing this in northern Africa?
