OUR TECHNOLOGY
SATELLITE BASED
MINERAL DETECTION
Discover Hidden Resources with Space-Based Precision
Traditional mineral exploration methods are slow, expensive, and often ineffective. At Farmonaut, we revolutionize how the mining world works with satellite mineral detection—a faster, safer, and cost-effective alternative to traditional geological surveys.
Using multi-source satellite imagery and advanced geospatial algorithms, we help you remotely identify mineral-rich zones and assess exploration targets with unmatched accuracy.
Challenges in Traditional Mineral Exploration
Why Satellite Mineral Detection Is the Future of Exploration
Discovering underground mineral wealth isn’t easy. Conventional exploration methods are not only slow, but they’re also inefficient in vast or inaccessible terrains. Mining companies and exploration firms often face:
High-cost and time-intensive on-ground geological surveys
Inaccessible or hazardous terrain
Limited visibility into sub-surface mineral deposits
Inconsistent data from manual fieldwork
Environmental risks and sustainability pressure
Difficulty in targeting specific minerals (e.g., lithium vs cobalt) without invasive methods
These factors slow down mineral discovery, reduce ROI, and increase project risks. That’s where Farmonaut’s satellite mineral detection comes in—changing the way we find Earth’s hidden resources.
