Fleet Space discovers a giant lithium deposit using satellites and AI

The Australian company Fleet Space Technologies has announced the discovery of new areas near an already known lithium deposit in the Canadian province of Quebec. This was made possible by a combination of satellite technology and artificial intelligence.

What we know

Instead of months of blind drilling, the company uses its own microsatellites with electromagnetic and gravity field sensors. The data is processed by the ExoSphere AI platform, which provides new coordinates for potentially promising drilling within 48 hours.

The Cisco project is at the center, where they are already evaluating from 215 to 329 million tons of ore containing lithium oxide. However, Fleet Space claims that the deposit scales may turn out to be even larger, as the results “indicate the potential of the entire area at a cluster level.”

According to developers, such a technology not only reduces decision-making time from weeks to days but also reduces costs, which is critically important amid the global demand for lithium for electric vehicle batteries and energy storage.
