Los Angeles, CA., March 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc. (OTCQB: DFLYF) (CSE: DFLY) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions, and systems developer, today announced that it has signed a $1M services deal to deploy EagleEye™ AI flight services with Windfall Geotek Inc. (“Windfall Geoteck”) (TSX-V: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF).
Windfall Geotek flies mining prospect with magnetometers. The data is placed into EagleEye™ along with other data and provides recommended targets for mining companies to drill. This was traditionally done by fixed-wing aircraft flying mag surveys. Draganfly flies smaller patterns and uses EagleEye’s™ AI software to get better results and provide better potential targets using the AI data. The mining focus will be on battery metals nickel, zing, lithium, and cobalt.
Windfall Geotek is a mining services company and a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced knowledge-extraction techniques since 2005. Windfall Geotek has contractually agreed to have Draganfly provide $1M in flight services over the course of the next year with $500,000 already directly funded and allocated.
“We are excited about this phase of Windfall’s growth with Draganfly. Bringing our two technology and service platforms together is industry-defining as we can provide the most ecologically friendly and in-depth exploration solution in the industry,” said Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman of Windfall Geotek. “Together we will transform primary exploration by finding low/zero carbon solutions through AI and drones.”
“We are excited about deepening our partnership with Windfall Geotek,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “EagleEye™ is a brilliant and unique offering that leverages Draganfly sensors and drone technology, creating a proprietary digital exploration solution that is both cost-effective and sustainable.”
