World-class UNIQUE services utilising the latest disruptive technologies that create new value for exploration and environmental studies and the further development of mineral resources
“Vedanta Zinc International’s initial assessment of the survey work carried out by Aerophysx, utilising the new Geometrics MagArrow system, is very favourable. The new generation technology not only enables acquisition of unsurpassed high-resolution magnetics (even in extreme terrain), but also opens the possibility of acquiring EM and MMR from a drone platform.” – Jaco Smit, Vedanta
Introducing the first UAV magnetic system of its kind in Africa. Excellent for high detailed magnetic surveys, water detection, boreholes, well detection. Magnetic sampling at 1000 times a second with terrain following and full autonomous flight. The MagArrow is the first ever UAV-deployable magnetometer and it sets the new standard for UAV magnetic surveys. The MFAM sensors within the MagArrow have a sampling rate of 1000Hz making the MFAM a revolutionary sensor in the geophysical market.
DroneTDEM is our proprietary technique where we measure simultaneously the slowly varying field strength of the earth’s magnetic field and in addition, superimposed on this magnetic field, is also the magnetic signature of the fast-changing manmade induced currents in the subsurface. Using this technique, we can model the ore body precisely in 3D in the ground as long as it is conductive or resistive. This will enable identification of precise target sites for test hole or well drilling.
AeroPhysX has access to a number of top-end geophysical systems worldwide and we undertake airborne survey on fixed-wing and helicopter platforms. We specialise in the collection and processing of geophysical data. Our key personnel have extensive experience in the industry, and together have more than 200 years and 15 million kilometres of experience.
The GT-2A Airborne Gravimeter provides high precision data even in turbulent flying conditions; data is acquired through short periods of saturation in extreme turbulence by the automatic application of a reduced order Kalman filter, enabling platform misalignment to be computed and hence controlled; the automatic calibration program computes accelerometer scale factors and errors in perpendicularity between the accelerometer sensitive axis and the platform surface
The staff at AeroPhysX have a world-renowned reputation for their ability to produce outstanding digital maps from databases produced by geophysical surveys.
We are able to process:
AeroPhysX is able to supply an entire system that is of the very latest technology and will remain at the forefront for years to come.
The system includes the Geometrics Magarrow, a drone such as a DJI Matrice 600 Pro and all necessary software developed by us.
The drone can be used and can be set up for other applications as required.
EXPERIENCE
We have been involved in the airborne geophysics and/or the airborne geospatial industries for 22 years and have aggregated in excess of 200 years of experience in the sector. AeroPhysX currently produces world-class UNIQUE services utilising the latest disruptive technologies that create new value for exploration and environmental studies and the further development of mineral resources.
We have deep proven experience in all aspects of the industry in Africa and several other emerging countries. We have dealt with the leading mining companies, governments and ministries, as well as private prospectors and landowners.
HISTORY
AeroPhysX was established to start a new exploration approach using leading-edge technology in Africa and elsewhere in the world. AeroPhysX operates on a global scale but specializes in the African market. We offer airborne magnetic, radiometric, Gravity and EM surveys from acquisition to final mapping and interpretation. We can undertake surveys that are suitable for aircraft ranging from Cessna 210 type, Cessna Caravan 208B, King Air twin turbine fixed wing as well as Eurocopter B2, B3 and Gazelle helicopters. We have approved installations for our equipment in all mentioned types.
VISION
The company policy and vision is to provide cost effective fixed wing, helicopter and drone surveys to the industry, as well as to develop and provide cutting-edge technology.
We foresaw the emergence of drone technology and the development of advanced sensors to be used by drones. We are the first company in Africa to have obtained the revolutionary Magarrow system for magnetic surveying. There is no one in Africa and very few international companies that can match our system. We have taken the initiative to further develop the software required for accurate navigation and terrain following and processing of the data.
MISSION
We are striving to simply be the best operator on a global scale, growing a worldwide reputation as the source of high quality, cost-effective airborne survey working in the clients’ best interests and continuously exploring and implementing new technologies as they become available.
Our current team have been working together for the last 5 years developing processing techniques and acquiring or manufacturing high end technology, downloading satellite imagery for testing purposes and pursuing clients for these specific services.
We already have an existing client base and reputation in the industry as proven specialists who deliver as we have been in the industry for 22 years. We have extensive experience operating throughout Africa, as well as internationally. We intend to have a worldwide footprint using our existing resources which are in place already and scaling this from a service-based revenue model to an IP license-based revenue model utilising our unique technology and its application in the field.
We have deep proven experience in all aspects of the industry in Africa and several other emerging countries. We have dealt with the leading mining companies, governments and ministries, as well as private prospectors and landowners.

Cape Town – Preliminary results following the discovery of a fresh water resource in Beaufort West by the Council for Geoscience indicate that the water is of good quality for drinking and other uses, the Department of Mineral Resources has confirmed.
The resource was found while research on the development of shale gas was being conducted, it emerged this week. Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane said the water resource brings “huge relief” to the drought-stricken town and province.
Recent advances in autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, along with successful efforts to miniaturize total field magnetometers, offer a unique opportunity to test low-cost UAV-mounted systems for wide-area high-resolution magnetic surveys. Modern UAV platforms capable of flying at low altitudes and collecting dense aerial surveys, coupled with sensitive and compact instruments, allow identification of anthropogenic targets previously identifiable only in ground magnetometer surveys.
We have worked closely and successfully with a wide range of clients from government departments and major companies to private individuals. We pride ourselves on meeting and exceeding our client’s expectations.
