Fleet Space Technologies has successfully deployed its ExoSphere solution to bolster Eagle Mountain Mining’s exploration efforts at the Silver Mountain copper project in Arizona. ExoSphere, an advanced mineral exploration tool that integrates space technology with AI, has provided crucial real-time 3D subsurface mapping capabilities, revealing new insights into the potential of Silver Mountain.
Faced with challenges due to complex sediment cover that hindered traditional geophysical techniques, Eagle Mountain Mining turned to Fleet Space’s ExoSphere. This solution allowed the team to generate high-resolution 3D images of their target zones, extending up to 2.5 kilometers in depth.
The new subsurface data uncovered significant indicators of large-scale mineralized systems, including deep porphyry-style targets and surrounding alteration zones. Additionally, the survey provided valuable information about regional geological structures, such as the Breakaway fault system in the Scarlett area, and identified velocity zones consistent with porphyry-style intrusions. These findings pointed to previously unknown, large-scale targets in the project’s western region.
As a result of these new discoveries, Eagle Mountain Mining plans to accelerate its exploration activities at Silver Mountain. According to Tim Mason, CEO of Eagle Mountain, the real-time 3D imaging capabilities of ExoSphere have significantly improved the geological understanding of the project, reduced uncertainty, and identified multiple high-priority targets for further exploration.
“The insights gained from the ExoSphere survey have been instrumental in unlocking the geological potential of our Silver Mountain project, reinforcing its role in our exploration strategy moving forward,” Mason stated.
