Overhead Intelligence Secures Expanded SFOC Permissions from Transport Canada for Nationwide Mineral Exploration

3/14/24

In a significant advancement for mineral exploration technology, Overhead Intelligence (OI) has been awarded a new series of Special Flight Operations Certificates (SFOCs) by Transport Canada. This marks a historic achievement for OI, as it is the first time the company has received authorization to conduct advanced mineral exploration surveys across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories.

The granted SFOCs focus on facilitating wide-area magnetometry surveys, leveraging the capabilities of OI's innovative MagPlane technology. The MagPlane, a cutting-edge addition to OI's fleet, is specifically designed for expansive area surveys. With the support of Transport Canada's SFOCs, OI is now poised to harness the full potential of the MagPlane's long-range capabilities, offering a robust and efficient alternative to traditional manned aircraft magnetometry surveys.

Furthermore, the latest round of SFOCs enhances OI's operational scope by incorporating photogrammetry techniques, paving the way for richer data collection and analysis. In addition to these advancements, OI is actively developing a lidar-equipped aircraft, aiming to further expand its survey capabilities and efficiency. The newly acquired SFOCs are set to significantly contribute to this development, underscoring OI's commitment to pioneering in the field of mineral exploration.
