READ Xcalibur and partners to deploy UAE’s first autonomous mapping system for critical minerals; supporting UAE’s ambition to be a smart and autonomous vehicles leader SHARE Xcalibur Multiphysics, Teledyne Geospatial and Bayanat partnering to launch UAE-first autonomous geophysical mapping system This industry leading partnership will enable the development of next generation autonomous surveying technologies, including drones and underwater vehicles. Xcalibur Multiphysics, the global leader in airborne geophysics, and Teledyne Geospatial, a leader in marine mapping software, have today signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Bayanat, a leader in artificial intelligence-powered geospatial solutions. The MoUs were signed on the occasion of the launch of Abu Dhabi’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industries (SAVI) cluster. Xcalibur, Teledyne Bayanat are proud to support Abu Dhabi’s ambition to be a leading smart and autonomous vehicles hub. This partnership supports Abu Dhabi’s goal for the cluster to contribute up to AED120 billion to the UAE economy and generate up to 50,000 jobs over time. As part of the agreement, the three companies agreed to partner on the deployment of a UAE-first state-of-the-art geophysical autonomous system to map natural resources with a focus on critical minerals such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt – which are essential for the transition to a lower carbon energy system – as well as water, geothermal and hydrogen energy. The companies will also work together to further develop next generation autonomous surveying technologies such as drones and underwater vehicles, leveraging technologies such artificial intelligence, Near Real Time (NRT), Edge Computing, Digital Twins, and digital mapping. Dario Castellanos, VP of Financing and Middle East director of Xcalibur Multiphysics said: “This partnership with Bayanat and Teledyne Geospatial signals our shared commitment to unlocking k the potential of cutting-edge geospatial technologies and mapping natural resources in order to advance the UAE’s geophysical capabilities. Together, we’ll play a significant role in shaping a more sustainable and connected future”. Abdulla Al Shamsi, COO of Bayanat, added: “Our partnerships with Xcalibur Multiphysics and Teledyne Geospatial mark a transformative moment in our journey towards advancing geospatial and autonomous technologies. By joining forces with these industry leaders, we are not only enhancing Abu Dhabi’s position as a smart mobility hub, but we are also collaborating on groundbreaking solutions that will drive innovation across cities, energy, national security, and environmental preservation, reinforcing our commitment to pioneering progress in these critical areas.” < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Baiterek Holding Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Geophysical Exploration in Kazakhstan SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Xcalibur Foundation and African Gifted Foundation renew commitment to women’s leadership in Africa SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping Expands Capabilities with Acquisition of PGW’s Interpretation Division SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, backed by Kartesia Asset Finance and Miralta Credit Opportunities, secures €40 million in funding to expand its aircraft fleet SEE MORE > Announcements Einstein-First project: Supporting a brighter future in science education SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping delivers data for 2023 project to National Geological Survey of Mongolia SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s IT Department wins award at Computing 2024 for Excellence in Cybersecurity Implementation SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Uncategorized Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Stanford University Initiate a pioneer AI and machine learning Project for the Energy Transition SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, nuevo miembro Platinium de la Fundación Empresa & Clima SEE MORE > Contact us.

READ Xcalibur Multiphysics partners with AFC and SMDF to boost Nigeria’s Geological Data Capabilities SHARE The objective is to stablish a comprehensive database showcasing Nigeria’s resource potential Xcalibur Multiphysics role includes providing technical support, ensuring data quality and conducting economic evaluation studies Xcalibur Multiphysics, global leader in integrated project and solutions for airborne geophysics and applied technology, has joined forces to enhance the landscape of geospatial edata mapping for early-stage mining projects in Nigeria with Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and the Solid Minerals Development Fund of Nigeria (SMDF). The primary focus is to enhance global access to Nigeria’s geological data, promoting secure investments from various entities, including banks, mining firms, financial institutions, individuals, and agencies. At the forefront of this initiative is Xcalibur Multiphysics, contributing technical support, ensuring data quality, and conducting economic evaluation studies. The collaboration is an extension of the AFC and Xcalibur Multiphysics’s earlier agreement to map, develop, and co-finance natural resource projects in Africa. This specific project in Nigeria aims to establish a comprehensive database showcasing the country’s resource potential. The AFC and SMDF will navigate financing solutions, engage with regulators, and facilitate government discussions, while Xcalibur plays a crucial role in overseeing the technical aspects and economic evaluations. Samaila Zubairu, President & CEO of AFC, emphasizes the significance of the partnership, highlighting Nigeria’s vast but underexplored mineral wealth. The goal is to attract mining investments and position Nigeria as a key player in the global energy transition. Dario Castellanos, VP Financing and Middle East director of Xcalibur Multiphysics, echoed her words, affirming the company’s commitment to enhancing geophysical data in Nigeria. Castellanos believes that the collaboration will attract mining investments, contributing to the development of critical mineral resources and establishing Nigeria as a pivotal player in the global energy transition. Despite Africa hosting 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, only 5% of global mining financing reaches the continent. AFC has been a significant investor, deploying over $900 million in critical projects over the last seven years, with a focus on closing the financing gap in the mining sector. Examples include the Dynamic Mining Bauxite Mine in Guinea and the FG Gold Baomahun Gold Project in Sierra Leone, both expected to have transformative impacts on local economies and job creation. < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Baiterek Holding Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Geophysical Exploration in Kazakhstan SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Xcalibur Foundation and African Gifted Foundation renew commitment to women’s leadership in Africa SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping Expands Capabilities with Acquisition of PGW’s Interpretation Division SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, backed by Kartesia Asset Finance and Miralta Credit Opportunities, secures €40 million in funding to expand its aircraft fleet SEE MORE > Announcements Einstein-First project: Supporting a brighter future in science education SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Xcalibur Smart Mapping delivers data for 2023 project to National Geological Survey of Mongolia SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s IT Department wins award at Computing 2024 for Excellence in Cybersecurity Implementation SEE MORE > Announcements Last news Uncategorized Xcalibur Smart Mapping and Stanford University Initiate a pioneer AI and machine learning Project for the Energy Transition SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping, nuevo miembro Platinium de la Fundación Empresa & Clima SEE MORE > Contact us.
