Fleet Space Technologies is delivering real-time and predictive exploration capabilities that are driving faster and more sustainable exploration outcomes at an unprecedented scale.
Australia's fastest growing company is pioneering the world's first end-to-end mineral exploration technology – ExoSphere by Fleet® – which integrates Fleet Space's proprietary satellite network, 3D multiphysics data acquisition, and AI to image mineral systems in real-time up to 5km in depth with near-zero environmental impact.
By combining these advanced technologies into a single end-to-end solution, ExoSphere is rapidly becoming a universal tool used across the industry to bridge long-standing structural gaps in the mining lifecycle that have limited the speed, accuracy, and progress of exploration for minerals needed to achieve net-zero.
End-To-End: Unifying the exploration journey with space and AI
Historically, the data flow between each stage of the exploration journey has been highly fragmented, leading to extended delays between the data acquisition, processing, and decision-making steps of exploration. Onsite teams then face the challenge of interpreting vast and diverse exploration datasets acquired from a variety of different sources and techniques - often taking years or months to analyse and identify targets. The operational complexity, logistics and administrative overhead this produces is a major contributor to why it takes an average of 16.5 years to go from discovery to first production, according to the International Energy Agency.
Fleet Space, however, has designed ExoSphere as a vertically integrated technology stack to enable a seamless progression from data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and targeting, all within the solution's end-to-end architecture.
This radically streamlines the complexity onsite team's face at every stage of the exploration journey, while also providing real-time access to 3D and AI-powered targeting insights to narrow their search space and enhance their data-driven decision making. It is no small wonder then that ExoSphere has been rapidly adopted globally, or that Fleet Space has enjoyed exponential growth over the past two years.
Over 40+ leading exploration companies, including big hitters, Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold, and Core Lithium, have used the technology to complete hundreds of surveys for energy transition minerals across five continents. Barrick Gold recently used ExoSphere's real-time 3D imaging on copper porphyry complexes for multiple zones of interest across 1,150 km2 of their Reko Diq project.
Redefining the Macquarie Arc's untapped potential
Fleet Space's execution of the world's largest real-time ambient noise tomography (ANT) copper survey on over 1800km2 of Inflection Resources licences in the Macquarie Arc was a seminal moment in the history of exploration, demonstrating a hyper-scalable strategy to rapidly advance the geological understanding of Earth's highly prospective but under-explored regions while minimising environmental impact. ExoSphere has enabled Inflection to identify new high priority targets in support of their Exploration Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti.
By integrating ExoSphere's industry-leading 3D ANT survey data with advanced multimodal, multiscale AI models, the global exploration value chain faces a tipping point that will drive an exponential reduction in the exploration search space, enhancing data-driven targeting and success rates with more sustainable outcomes at an unprecedented rate. This will redefine the untapped potential of regions like the Macquarie Arc, freeing up resources to be deployed toward opportunities faster, smarter, and more sustainably in a dynamic market environment.
