Home News Official Launch of Zambia’s High-Resolution Aerial Geophysical Survey Project Last news 4 MIN. READ Xcalibur Smart Mapping, in collaboration with the Zambian Presidency, has officially commenced its nationwide high-resolution aerial geophysical survey. SHARE This project aims to significantly advance Zambia’s mineral exploration efforts and strengthen the foundations of its mining sector. His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema attended the event and addressed the critical importance of mineral exploration for Zambia’s economic development. He emphasized that comprehensive mineral mapping is essential for fostering transparent and regulated mining practices, ensuring that the nation’s resources benefit all citizens. Furthermore, the President highlighted the survey’s role in mapping underground water resources, which will support future irrigation projects and contribute to drought mitigation strategies. Lusaka Province Minister, Sheal Mulyata, emphasized the potential of this initiative to uncover Zambia’s mineral wealth across all provinces. Minister Mulyata noted that the data generated by the survey will play a pivotal role in reshaping the mining industry, fostering informed investment, and driving future growth. Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s CEO, Andres Blanco, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality data through cutting-edge technology, being employed for the first time in Africa. He also highlighted the inclusion of a skills transfer program, designed to equip Zambian professionals with the expertise needed to sustain the project long-term. The Minister of Mines and Minerals Development, Paul Kabuswe, acknowledged the historical significance of this mapping project, noting that it is the most comprehensive mineral survey since 1972. He praised President Hichilema’s leadership and policy direction, which have been instrumental in the realization of this project. This survey represents a crucial step in Zambia’s mineral exploration efforts, with the potential to guide future investments and support resource management strategies nationwide. < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news Last news Airborne Gravity Data Capture and Geoid Modelling SEE MORE > Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping Partners with Curtin University to Pioneer Aerial Detection Technology for Natural Hydrogen Exploration SEE MORE > Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping to support sustainable mining and natural capital exploration in Bhutan SEE MORE > Last news Technology Driving a Data-Driven Energy Transition SEE MORE > Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Koloma Forge Partnership to Accelerate Global Natural Hydrogen Exploration SEE MORE > 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 > Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping Expands North American Operations with Air Tractor Aircraft for Critical Mineral Exploration SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping delivers data for 2023 project to National Geological Survey of Mongolia SEE MORE > Contact us.

READ Xcalibur Multiphysics participation at Africa Mining Indaba 2023 Warning: Constant template_defecto already defined in /app/wp-content/themes/xcalibur/blocks/Columns/index.php on line 24 SHARE Xcalibur Multiphysics, was present, once again, at the Africa Mining Indaba, held during the 6th and 9th of February 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa Africa Mining Indaba is a significant event on the continent as it is an excellent opportunity for the meeting companies involved in the African mining sector. Xcalibur Multiphysics attended once again, to establish new and strengthen existing relationships on the continent with the aim of developing new projects. With active projects in Nigeria and Uganda, among others, we believe that responsible mapping of natural resources is critical for a more sustainable global economy, therefore the services we provide empower governments to be a part of the clean energy revolution and accelerate their sustainable economic growth to build an inclusive economy. In partnership with Invest Africa, as part of their 10th Annual Mining Series, our Director from Xcalibur MPH Spain, Victor González, took part in the panel Safeguarding the Future: Critical Minerals and Rare-Earth Elements, where he discussed Africa’s role in critical minerals supply chains, as well as deep sea mining and other unconventional sources of critical raw materials. Mr. Paul Kabuswe, Zambian Minister Furthermore, on Tuesday the 7th Xcalibur Multiphysics signed a partnership agreement with Africa Finance Corporation, to provide large scale geophysical mapping and co-financing of natural capital projects that will spur minerals and critical raw materials beneficiation in Africa. This partnership will prioritise projects that locate and identify minerals of interest, resulting in African countries gaining access to better geological data and ultimately to support them in their just energy transition. AFC Partnership with Xcalibur Multiphysics At the end of the day, we hosted casual drinks at the Xcalibur Multiphysics stand, where many of our customers, new and existing, were able to come and chat with us. Xcalibur Multiphysics get-together. In addition to being able to engage in conversations with great references from the industry, Xcalibur was able to share its vision and ideas with Mr. Felix Tshiseked, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mr. Paul Kabuswe, Minister of Mines & Minerals Development, Republic of Zambia, representatives of MinDiver Nigeria and the Government of Uganda, we are very grateful for your visit to our stand. < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news Events Unlocking Saudi Arabia’s mineral wealth: Arabian Smart Mapping Company and Ma’aden set to redefine exploration standards SEE MORE > Events Raw Materials Summit 2024: Xcalibur Smart Mapping joins EIT RawMaterials SEE MORE > Events Last news Main conclusions of PDAC 2024: Which issues took the industry’s focus?
