High-altitude view across a vast mountain region at golden hour, a satellite scanning a gold survey boundary

Mining Intelligence for Intelligent Mining

Hawkeyes uses satellite and drone technology combined with AI to predict where to find metals and minerals, such as gold and uranium.

Exploration shouldn't start with guesswork.

Every year, exploration money is lost to uncertainty. Satellites and AI create certainty, especially in hard-to-reach ground.

    Send coordinates, a shapefile or your licence polygon.

  2. The same valley with a satellite mineral map draped inside the boundary

    We map and run the AI

    Radar, spectral and terrain layers, read by our models.

  3. The same valley with ranked gold drill targets marked inside the boundary
    03

    You get the report

    Ranked targets, confidence scores and maps your team can act on.

Phase 2 · Drone targeting · 3–4 weeks

Drones fly the top zones. You get drill intercepts with coordinates.

AI that reads rock from orbit.

Trained on geology, our models spot the patterns mineral systems leave in hundreds of spectral bands.

Used in mining for

  • Hydrothermal alteration
  • Faults & structure
  • Mineral signatures
  • Vegetation stress

Prospectivity map · output

No single sensor finds a deposit. The stack does.

Our prospectivity and monitoring models read every layer together, so each one covers what the others can't see.

What comes out

Where to sample, where to drill, what to watch, and when to act.

Drones will change this industry.

For our clients

Drones fly the targets orbit flags, 30–100 m above the rock, and confirm them with magnetics, radiometrics and ground radar. Answers in weeks, not seasons.

For the industry

Fewer crews in dangerous ground, fewer wasted drill holes, and exploration that works in places the industry has written off.
