Narrative:The pilot reported that a pre-flight inspection was conducted on the RPA at the Mine facility and noanomalies were noted. The battery was at 100%. The drone took off and climbed to 200 feet (ft)above ground level (AGL). Approximately 6 minutes into the flight at approximately 540 metres (m)from the take-off position, the pilot suddenly lost link to the RPA. The pilot waited a few minutes forthe RPA to activate its return-to-home (RTH) functionality. Upon realising that the drone was notreturning to launch position, the pilot searched the last recorded location, and the RAP was foundon the ground.
