Problem
Mining and space exploration operations rely on fragmented, slow, and costly data collection methods, leading to high exploration expenses, safety risks, and limited trust in resource estimates. Inadequate real‑time insight hampers efficient ore recovery, ESG compliance, and decision‑making for investors.
Solution
Vulcanis offers modular multi‑sensor payloads that can be mounted on UAVs for Earth mining or configured as space‑qualified instruments for off‑world prospecting. The payload integrates LiDAR, hyperspectral, thermal, magnetometry (and for space, neutron/gamma detectors, radar, quantum sensors) with onboard AI to fuse data and generate real‑time ore‑grade maps, slope‑stability assessments, and emissions monitoring in a single flight. Results are recorded on a blockchain‑based system that creates verifiable digital certificates, ensuring traceability of mineral assets and compliance with ESG requirements. This combined sensing, AI, and blockchain approach reduces survey costs by up to 40 % and improves ore recovery by 3–5 %, while providing investors with trustworthy, tamper‑proof data.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining companies seeking efficient exploration and compliance solutions, space agencies or commercial ventures planning off‑world resource prospecting, and investors requiring verifiable asset traceability.
