EXPLORATION and academic institutions like Stanford’ s Mineral-X and MIT’ s Space Exploration Initiative to enhance efficiency, speed and precision across the mineral value chain on Earth and beyond.
“ To improve exploration agility and time to discovery, the global mining industry is reconfiguring their exploration toolkit with satellites, real-time multiphysics ground sensors and AI to drive rapid, non-invasive and data-driven exploration at scale,” Fleet Space says.“ Using ExoSphere, Rio Tinto, Barrick, BHP and Gold Fields have accelerated exploration and unlocked geological insights at key projects worldwide. Maaden, as part of a multi-year contract, will deploy ExoSphere across 12,000 sq. km of the Arabian Shield, combining 3D subsurface imaging data up to 7 km in depth with Fleet Space’ s AI-enabled drill targeting to develop Saudi Arabia’ s $ 2.5 trillion mineral asset portfolio.”
Fleet Space’ s partnerships with mDetect, Nomad Atomics and DeteQt it added represent a new landscape of Australianled advanced technology partnerships to build sovereign capabilities that strengthen mineral supply chain resilience, enabling mining companies to explore and enhance production by equipping their field teams with more sustainable, low-impact, spaceenabled exploration technologies and AI, it says. mDetect specialises in muon tomography, a passive imaging technique that utilises naturally occurring particles from space known as muons to create 3D density maps of the subsurface. This capability provides deep, high-resolution information that has promising applications in mineral exploration and drill targeting. Enabling exploration teams to“ see through” significant overburden and challenging geology, muon tomography complements shallower geophysical methods and enhances AI’ s ability to model deep-seated mineral systems without extensive drilling or ground disturbance; Nomad Atomics is pioneering the development of high-precision quantum gravimeters and accelerometers. Its technology leverages atomic physics to deliver drift-free, stable and sensitive measurements. This quantum-level precision will generate ultrafine resolution gravity data
Fleet Space last year announced the launch of ExoSphere MT- a real-time Magnetotellurics( MT) solution available as part of its AI-powered mineral exploration platform, ExoSphere
to inform data-driven exploration strategies and improve the predictive outputs of Fleet Space’ s AI, enabling highly accurate and precise detection of density contrasts and
