Inflection Resources has collaborated with Fleet Space Technologies to harness space technology and AI to identify copper-gold deposits in Australia's Macquarie Arc.

Fleet Space's ExoSphere, an end-to-end mineral exploration solution, has real-time ambient noise tomography survey capabilities.

These have enabled Inflection Resources to pinpoint several new priority targets at its Duck Creek project in New South Wales.

Inflection Resources is now preparing to deploy ExoSphere across 1,818 km² of its tenement portfolio. It aims to utilise Fleet Space's advanced AI capabilities to create a comprehensive copper prospectivity map of its projects throughout the Macquarie Arc.

The ExoSphere geophysical surveys at the Duck Creek Project have been instrumental in identifying multiple new high-priority drill targets. These targets will be the focus of exploration efforts in the upcoming months.

The 3D models generated by ExoSphere have revealed low-velocity zones indicative of alteration patterns associated with alkalic copper-gold porphyry systems and high-velocity features that could represent potential intrusions.

Following the announcement of these new targets by Inflection Resources, AngloGold Ashanti has upgraded the Duck Creek project from Phase 1 to Phase II under its exploration agreement with Inflection Resources.

This phase includes drilling the targets identified through ExoSphere's geophysical surveys.

Fleet Space CEO and co-founder Flavia Tata Nardini said: “Without a major acceleration in copper discoveries, humanity’s transition to renewable energy and building the infrastructure necessary for the global AI industry are unachievable.

“We are proud to conduct the world’s largest mineral exploration survey with ambient noise tomography in support of Inflection Resources’ data-driven exploration of the Macquarie Arc with our end-to-end solution, ExoSphere, and deliver sustainable subsurface insights at scale with our next-generation AI capabilities.”
