Fleet Space Technologies is using satellites to feed geophysics data from remote project sites to artificial intelligence programs, senior exploration geophysicist Darren Burrows says in a new video.
The Adelaide, Australia-based company deployed its most advanced exploration satellites to date – Centauri-7 and Centauri-8 – in January with SpaceX. Privately-held Fleet Space hones in on deposits with its ExoSphere Discovery AI platform.
It’s used by companies such as Rio Tinto (NYSE, LSE, RIO, ASX: RIO), Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: GOLD) and Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI; JSE: GFI). It merges ambient noise tomography – using sound waves to image subsurface structures in 3D up to 7 km deep– with other geophysics, geology and geochemistry data.
“We’re combining regional foundational models with very high-resolution project scale models,” Burrows told The Northern Miner’s western editor, Henry Lazenby, at the recent AME Roundup conference in Vancouver. “It’s providing good insights at the target scale.”
Fleet Space is backed by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan with $255 billion under management.
