Beijing, July 15, 2026 — Deep Exploration (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. has officially completed the equity investment signing ceremony for Tianjin Geo Geological Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. Bonded by equity cooperation, the two companies will integrate two core technology domains — satellite AI remote sensing exploration and ground high-precision seismic geophysical surveying — connecting the complete space-ground business loop of "satellite-wide screening → dense ground-array fine detection → on-site field verification," and comprehensively upgrading their integrated deep mineral exploration capabilities both in China and abroad.
Signing Completed: Launching a Deep Strategic Partnership
At the signing ceremony, the core management teams of both parties jointly signed the investment cooperation agreement, reaching long-term consensus on business synergy, technology integration, market coordination, and joint development of overseas projects.
Deep Exploration relies on its proprietary Deep-Explor® satellite-targeted ultra-weak NMR AI exploration system, enabling contactless remote target delineation over ultra-large areas and forecasting of concealed ore bodies. Tianjin Geo has cultivated ground high-precision seismic geophysics, short-period dense-array observation, and on-site mineral surveying for many years, with mature capabilities in field project execution, data acquisition, and geological metallogenic analysis.
This equity cooperation upgrades and completes Deep Exploration's full-chain service capability — from satellite data analysis in the sky to on-site exploration and construction on the ground — providing one-stop, full-process mineral exploration solutions for mining companies, geological survey units, and overseas mining investors at home and abroad.
Strength-on-Strength Synergy: Building Differentiated Core Competitiveness
- Closed-loop technology chain — Deep Exploration's satellite AI technology first performs large-scale screening across blocks at the ten-thousand-square-kilometer level to lock in high-potential metallogenic targets; Tianjin Geo then applies dense-array seismic geophysics for refined subsurface structural detection of those targets, followed by on-site field reconnaissance and drilling guidance. This significantly reduces the proportion of ineffective drilling and compresses the overall exploration cycle and total project cost.
- Two-way empowerment across domestic and overseas markets — Deep Exploration's existing overseas project resources in Africa and Oceania (Burkina Faso, Papua New Guinea, etc.), combined with Tianjin Geo's mature on-the-ground experience in multiple African countries such as the DR Congo, will enable the two parties to jointly expand China-Africa mineral exploration projects and help advanced domestic exploration technology go global.
- Anchoring the national strategic exploration breakthrough — Leveraging the combination of satellite remote sensing and ground geophysics, and targeting official needs such as domestic farmland satellite-image verification, mine ecological monitoring, deep-and-flank exploration of old mines, and strategic mineral resource surveys, the partnership will build standardized exploration technical service programs that are implementable, reviewable, and archivable.
Going forward, Deep Exploration will treat this strategic equity partnership as a key milestone, continuously refining its integrated "satellite–air–ground–borehole" intelligent exploration technology matrix. Driving business upgrades through technology integration, it will provide more comprehensive technical support and on-the-ground services for the green, efficient, and safe development of global mineral resources, help implement the new round of domestic exploration breakthroughs, and burnish China's calling card of intelligent geological exploration technology going global.
