READ Unlocking Saudi Arabia’s mineral wealth: Arabian Smart Mapping Company and Ma’aden set to redefine exploration standards SHARE Arabian Smart Mapping Company, the Saudi subsidiary of Xcalibur Smart Mapping, has been contracted to map 200,000 linear km of airborne geophysical data in collaboration with Ma’aden, a key player in the mining industry. Electromagnetic technology triumph: TEMPEST and Helitem to revolutionize data acquisition in the region. Enhanced logistic efficiency and a reduction on community impact due to the advanced fixed wing system. Through its recently created Saudi subsidiary, Xcalibur Smart Mapping, the world’s leading geophysical exploration company, will contract with Ma’aden, one of the Middle East’s largest multi-commodity mining and metals companies, to complete its most significant private-sector project to date. Focused on leveraging Xcalibur’s cutting-edge TEMPTEST system, the project will involve mapping an impressive 120,000 linear kilometers using the fixed-wing system and an additional 80,000 linear kilometers with the helicopter-borne Helitem system, totaling over 200,000 linear kilometers. This monumental agreement marks a historic achievement for Xcalibur Smart Mapping. representing its largest contract with a private client to date. In addition, this is a groundbreaking endeavor in terms of scale and total kilometers covered. As the leading fixed wing airborne electromagnetic system, TEMPEST is purpose built for regional geological and groundwater mapping, and discrete mineral target mapping. Dario Castellanos, CEO of Arabian Smart Mapping Company, emphasized the significance of this partnership for Xcalibur, stating: “Working with Ma’aden is a milestone for our company. We anticipate that having a fully operational subsidiary in Saudi Arabia will enable Xcalibur to extend this alliance to other projects within and beyond the Kingdom, with success resonating beyond its borders. This deployment of the TEMPEST system will ensure the efficient and timely completion of the project, while reducing operational risks, minimizing impact on local communities and significantly lowering project costs. There are significant advantages of opting for the fixed-wing Tempest system where terrain allows, over a helicopter system, including: Logistical Efficiency: The use of a fixed-wing solution significantly enhances completion timeframes compared to relying solely on helicopter-borne solutions. Reduced Community Impact: Fixed-wing systems considerably lessen the impact on local communities. Additional Gravity Data Acquisition: TEMPEST fixed-wing technology enables the acquisition of the iCORUS-X scalar gravity system, providing a supplementary dataset that complements existing datasets. Commercial Considerations: The utilization of the TEMPEST system substantially reduces the commercial cost of the survey without compromising technical benefits. Ma’aden is the largest multi-commodity mining and metals company in the Middle East and among the fastest-growing mining companies in the world. It is developing the mining industry into the third pillar of the Saudi economy in line with Vision 2030 and aims to be a role model in responsible and sustainable operations. Ma’aden operates 17 mines and sites, has 6,000+ direct employees and exports products to over 30 countries. Ma’aden is embarking on massive growth over the next 18 years across phosphate, aluminum, gold, copper and new minerals. As Xcalibur Smart Mapping continues to pioneer advancements in geophysical exploration, this collaboration underscores its commitment to reshaping the future of mining and resource discovery.

Home News Xcalibur Multiphysics partners with AFC and SMDF to boost Nigeria’s Geological Data Capabilities Announcements 3 MIN. 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 joins forces with the Ministry of Water Resources to transform groundwater management at Kokzhide SEE MORE > Announcements Xcalibur Smart Mapping joins UN Global Compact, the World’s Largest Corporate Sustainability Initiative SEE MORE > 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 > Contact us.
