Fleet Space Joins Forces with Ma’aden to Drive Data-Led Mineral Exploration in the Middle East
Fleet Space Technologies has entered into a transformative partnership with Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) to carry out high-tech exploration across 12,012.6 km² of the Arabian Shield—one of the most promising mineral regions in the Middle East.
Backed by Fleet & Tahreez JV, the agreement brings ExoSphere, Fleet’s advanced exploration platform, to the region. By leveraging low-orbit satellite data, AI-driven modeling, and advanced seismic sensing, Ma’aden will gain real-time insights into subsurface formations, helping fast-track discoveries while staying aligned with environmental and sustainability goals under Vision 2030.
“This is a pivotal step for Saudi Arabia’s goal to build mining into a major economic driver,” said Francesco Fidicaro, CEO of Tahreez. “It’s not just about resources—it’s about empowering local talent with the knowledge and tech to lead the industry.”
Fleet’s involvement follows their acquisition of HiSeis, further enhancing the precision and capability of ExoSphere—already trusted by global mining giants like Rio Tinto and AngloGold Ashanti.
