Air Tractor aircraft Xcalibur Smart Mapping, the global leader in airborne geophysics, with over 40 aircrafts, today announced a significant expansion of its North American operations with the addition of Air Tractor aircraft to its fleet. These specialized aircraft will be deployed in Canada and the United States to conduct low-level, high-resolution surveys aimed at accelerating the discovery and development of critical minerals essential for the transition to a sustainable energy future. With a proven track record of over 1,400 successful projects across six continents, Xcalibur Smart Mapping continues to lead in providing innovative geophysical solutions for mapping and assessing natural resources. This milestone is the result of a collaborative effort between teams from South Africa and Canada, leveraging Canada’s extensive experience in aerial surveys and ensuring compliance with local safety and data quality standards. The introduction of Air Tractor aircraft, renowned for their maneuverability and stability at low altitudes, significantly enhances the company’s ability to deliver precise and detailed data for critical mineral exploration projects. After two years of dedicated work and recognizing the sector’s need for more efficient geophysical surveys, Xcalibur Smart Mapping developed an Air Tractor capable of geophysical survey equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank to extend aircraft endurance. This groundbreaking project was made possible through collaboration with Metal Innovations Aero in Oregon, USA. The Air Tractor is approved for low-level geophysical survey with MAG/RAD (Magnetics and Radiometric) and iCORUS technology, allowing for greater accuracy in data collection, particularly in areas with challenging topography. The high-resolution surveys conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping will provide valuable insights into the distribution and concentration of critical minerals, aiding in the identification of potential deposits and informing resource development strategies. “We are thrilled to expand our operations in North America with the addition of Air Tractor aircraft,” said Andres Blanco, CEO of Xcalibur Smart Mapping. “These aircraft, combined with our state-of-the-art geophysical technology and expertise, will enable us to conduct surveys with unprecedented precision, contributing to the responsible discovery and development of critical minerals vital for a sustainable future.” Davin Allen, Managing Director – Americas of Xcalibur Smart Mapping, noted, “The Air Tractor is the ideal aircraft for geophysical survey given its powerful turbine engine enabling better terrain following. The aircraft also has superior situational awareness with a ‘heads up’ display mounted outside the cockpit and superior safety features such as a built-in safety cage around the cockpit and airbags incorporated into the 5-point restraint harness.” Securing the modified aircraft approvals was a significant milestone, as this Air Tractor will now be able to develop projects anywhere in the world, facilitating the detection of critical minerals necessary for the energy transition. The complexities involved were enormous, but the benefits for both the industry and the environment are substantial. Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s clients include the USGS as well as major and junior mining clients in Canada exploring for critical minerals. By improving the efficiency of aerial surveys, the company is taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future. This innovation not only supports the detection of critical minerals but also contributes to the broader goal of environmental conservation and efficient resource management. Committed to responsible and sustainable resource development practices, Xcalibur Smart Mapping ensures that its geophysical surveys minimize environmental impact while maximizing data quality, ensuring that critical mineral exploration is conducted with utmost care for surrounding ecosystems. The expansion of Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s North American operations and the deployment of Air Tractor aircraft represent a significant milestone in the company’s mission to unlock natural capital responsibly and accelerate the global transition to a sustainable energy economy. < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping completes 66,000 km airborne survey in France’s Central Massif SEE MORE > Last news A World First for Xcalibur Smart Mapping: 3D Hydrogen Plume Mapping with Quantum Raman Spectrometer SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping delivers data for 2023 project to National Geological Survey of Mongolia SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Uncategorized Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Stanford University Initiate a pioneer AI and machine learning Project for the Energy Transition SEE MORE > Events Last news Main conclusions of PDAC 2024: Which issues took the industry’s focus?

SHARE Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Stanford University in collaboration with Mineral-X, are launching a pioneering project to revolutionize the mapping of natural capital using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning. This initiative addresses critical challenges in large-scale natural capital mapping and will play a key role in the global energy transition. Both AI and machine learning algorithms will enable Xcalibur to offer its clients higher-value-added products for utilizing their natural resources, with a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and environmental respect. The AI Lab that both research teams are developing aims to transform the mapping of natural capital on a global scale. This pioneering project will address key challenges of country mapping in integrating geophysical and borehole data, and in quantitively geological interpretation using advanced artificial intelligence techniques. Additionally, the lab will focus on automating the generation of labeled data and creating accurate economic models as part of the Smart Regional Interpretation Solution for the sustainable management of natural resources, thus supporting the global energy transition. The project will tackle several major challenges, including integrating geophysical and borehole data into actionable formats like 3D geological and prospectivity maps at large scale, effectively capturing and using qualitative geological interpretations in machine learning applications, and Large Dataset Management with advanced software and computational infrastructure. To address these challenges, this collaboration will develop Innovative Spatial Information Methods including Automated Spatial Domaining and Interactive Training Label Generation. We will further advance 3D Multiphysics Inversion and 3D Mineral Prospectivity Mapping and develop Economic Models for Natural Resources and Smart Regional Interpretation. All research developments will be transformed into Xcalibur Smart Mapping systems with Advanced Software and Infrastructures. “This collaboration between Stanford and Xcalibur Smart Mapping not only represents a significant advancement in the Smart Country Mapping Solution. The application of artificial intelligence in aerial geophysics also underscores our shared commitment to preserving and understanding our planet’s natural capital. Through the synergy of scientific knowledge and innovative technology, we are charting a path towards a future where the study of natural capital is not only more accurate, but also more sustainable, enabling us to protect and harness our resources more effectively for future generations” has stated Jorge Urios.
