Introduces Drone based Geophysical surveys with Magnetometers and Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR) for Mineral prospecting and exploration at Indonesia’s Kalimantan and Sulawesi Islands
Bengaluru: Squadrone Infra & Mining Pvt. Ltd, a leading startup company in aerial intelligence for mineral exploration, mining, tunnelling, and infrastructure, has partnered with PT. Tunas Artha group and Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Central), Indonesia, to expand its operations into Indonesia with the deployment of its cutting-edge drone-based for geophysical surveys for prospecting and exploration of Nickle, Gold, Bauxite, Coal and other critical minerals. Squadrone deployed ‘magarrow’ and GPR technologies, a UAV-enabled drone-based solution equipped with a non-radioactive laser-pumped cesium vapor total field scalar magnetometer for PT. Tunas Artha Group, Indonesia at Indonesia’s Kalimantan and Sulawesi Islands. This advanced system enables the mapping of shallow and deep-seated virgin mineral deposits, reaching depths of up to 1000 to 1500 meters below ground level. Geologists, geophysicists, and researchers can now conduct comprehensive studies of the earth’s strata for new and greenfield mineral discoveries in previously inaccessible areas, significantly enhancing efficiency and accuracy. The GPR adds great value to nickle, Gold, bauxite and coal prospecting, with high precision.
“Our entry into Indonesia with the deployment of our state-of-the-art technology for mineral prospecting and exploration represents a significant milestone for Squadrone Infra & Mining. This technology helps geologists, geophysicists, and researchers to carry out strata studies of the Earth and discover new minerals and green fields especially in inaccessible areas. We are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that not only facilitate mineral exploration but also prioritize the preservation of our planet’s natural resources. The ‘Magarrow’ & GPR technology allows us to conduct geophysical surveys with minimal ecological impact, marking a paradigm shift in the industry.” said Mr. Cyriac Joseph, Founder and CEO, Squadrone Infra and Mining Pvt. Ltd.
Kalimantan Island, known for its unique and diverse ecosystems, poses significant challenges to traditional mining surveys due to its remote and difficult-to-access terrain. However, with the introduction of ‘Magarrow’ & GPR, Squadrone offers a revolutionary solution that allows for geophysical surveying without adversely affecting the ecology of the region, minimising the need for human intervention. This groundbreaking technology marks a significant milestone in the field of mineral exploration in such environmentally sensitive areas.
“Our partnership with Squadrone for mineral and coal exploration in Indonesia, will greatly assist exploration activities, especially in forest areas, without disturbing the ecology or causing any damage to the forest environment. We will be able to open new avenues for mineral prospecting and exploration particularly Nickle, Gold, Lithium and Coal, and additionally demonstrate our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. Squadrone’s groundbreaking deployment of the drone based ‘Magarrow & GPR’ technology in India has earned widespread acclaim, as it showcases their pioneering approach to mineral prospecting and exploration. Squadrone has unveiled game-changing technology with drone based ‘Magarrow,’ and ‘Ground penetrating Radar (GPR)’ revolutionizing geophysical survey for mineral prospecting, while preserving the delicate ecological balance of Kalimantan and other islands in Indonesia and reducing the reliance on human intervention” said Tugiyo Wiratmodjo, President Director, Tunas Artha Group and Special Secretary, Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Central), Indonesia.
Squadrone was the first company to successfully deploy the “Magarrow” technology in India, garnering immense recognition for its innovative approach to mineral prospecting and exploration. Squadrone Infra & Mining remains at the forefront of innovation in aerial intelligence, continuously striving to revolutionize mineral exploration and discovery. With its expansion into Indonesia and plans to enter other regions of Southeast Asia and Africa, the company is set to contribute significantly to ‘Net Zero’ operations and the sustainable development of the global mining industry.
