Fleet Space Announces New ExoSphere Features to Advance ML-Enabled, Real-Time Exploration
Fleet Space Technologies, a global leader in space-enabled mineral exploration, announced three new features to their mineral exploration technology, Exosphere by Fleet® - designed to enhance and accelerate data-driven global mineral exploration efforts with machine learning (ML) capabilities and real-time survey diagnostics. The introduction of new ML-powered features and real-time sensor diagnostics to ExoSphere enables faster on-site targeting decisions and provides access to greater subsurface insights before, during, and after every survey.
ExoSphere is rapidly becoming an essential tool for the exploration industry. Bringing together Fleet Space’s satellite constellation in low Earth orbit and patented seismic array technology, ExoSphere delivers 3D subsurface models of a survey area in days with near-zero environmental impact. Over 35 global exploration companies have used the technology to complete hundreds of surveys for a wide range of commodity types across 5 continents, including Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, Core Lithium, among many others.
Real-Time Exploration at Scale
“A future with near instantaneous access to subsurface insights that can lead to the next wave of mineral discoveries needed for the energy transition is within our grasp due to rapid advances in space technology,” said Co-Founder & CEO of Fleet Space Technologies, Flavia Tata Nardini. “Technologies like ExoSphere, and the ML-enabled, real-time features we are building for it represent a major leap forward in the potential scale and speed of data-driven exploration while also reducing environmental impact.”
Historically, the process of gathering and evaluating the different forms of data inputs for a survey area can take years or months before they are used as part of an exploration strategy, let alone inform on-site targeting decisions. This leads to extended planning cycles and limits the ability of on-site exploration teams to make quick operational decisions needed to hone in on promising new opportunities on their tenements. With ExoSphere’s 3D subsurface models and ML-enabled features, exploration customers will be able to leverage a variety of new subsurface insights on-demand to accelerate and enhance their data-driven exploration efforts.
Space & ML-Enabled Mineral Discovery
Fleet Space combines the latest advances in space technology, local data acquisition, and near real-time data processing to deliver actionable 3D models of survey areas for exploration customers worldwide. Outlined below are the new ExoSphere features available today and others that will arrive in the coming months, including Geological Sketch, Basement Depth, and Real-Time Diagnostics.
Geological Sketch
Starting today, customers using the ExoSphere platform will be able to access Geological Sketch - a powerful visualization tool that allows them to convey their understanding of the geology and lithology of their project. Using this visualisation, Fleet Space’s in-house team of geophysicists can refine the customer’s 3D model with a wider range of insights before, during, and after their survey is complete - enhancing model accuracy while also unlocking new insights to inform their targeting decisions.
