From Space to Subsurface: 3D Intelligence for Critical Minerals

Self-reliance in critical minerals is very essential for us too. Be it the energy sector, industry sector, defence sector or any other technology sector


Hon'ble PM Narendra Modi | Aug 15, 2025

Why Now?

India's Push for Self-Reliance

How VMF Detects Subsurface Critical Minerals?

  • Every element in the Earth subsurface interacts with electromagnetic (EM) radiation in its own unique way. Each atom absorbs and reflects specific wavelengths from the EM spectrum — creating a distinct spectral signature, much like a fingerprint.


  • VMF Technology harnesses multispectral satellite imaging combined with proprietary spinor–mathematical algorithms to isolate and analyze these signatures. Instead of looking for rock formations or indirect geological clues, VMF directly identifies lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earths, and other critical minerals based on their unique electromagnetic response.


  • This process transforms raw satellite data into actionable exploration intelligence, enabling us to map not just where these minerals exist, but also their depth, geometry, and concentration — all without ever setting foot on the ground.

Stage 1: 2D Spectral Survey

Spot the Hotspots

  • Satellite multispectral imagery is filtered to capture only the spectral signals of target minerals.
  • Enables rapid screening of greenfield and auction blocks in weeks.
     

Key Deliverables:

  • Location accuracy: ±3 m
  • Detection depth: up to 8,000 m
  • Turnaround: 2–3 months
  • Clear mineral intensity mapping to prioritize high-potential zones
     

Stage 2: 3D Volumetric Analysis

From Hotspots to 3D Models

  • Using multi-angle satellite imagery, VMF triangulates signals to calculate depth and volume.
  • Creates a 3D block model of the deposit body with slicing every 1.5 m.

 

Key Deliverables:

  • Reserve volume estimates with >75% accuracy
  • 3D geometry and depth of mineral bodies
  • Grade / purity levels for metallic minerals
  • x, y, z coordinates of high-concentration zones
  • Drilling reference points for extraction planning
     

Any Terrain. Any Climate. Any Logistical Challenge. We reveal what lies beneath. Without ever setting foot on site.

For Leaders Who Adapt, Not React

✓ Higher discovery efficiency.

Fewer dry holes; 3x better first-pass hit rate in priority targets.

✓ Better capital productivity.

Shift budgets from broad reconnaissance to targeted development.

✓ Strengthen compliance & ESG.

Non-invasive reconnaissance reduces environmental footprint and stakeholder friction from day one.
