AME JV video: Fleet Space enhances AI prospecting with real-time 3D data

Fleet Space Technologies is using satellites to feed real-time geophysics data from remote project sites to artificial intelligence programs for faster on-site decision making, senior exploration geophysicist Darren Burrows says in a new video.

The Adelaide, Australia-based company has deployed its next-generation Centauri-6 satellite last year and 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 that merges ambient noise tomography – using sound waves to image subsurface structures in 3D up to 7km in depth – 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 recently closed a $100m Series D with a $525 valuation and is backed by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan with C$255 billion under management. ExoSphere, Fleet Space’s end-to-end exploration platform, is used by Rio Tinto, Barrick, Gold Fields, and Ma’aden worldwide.
