Workflow

How the SatelliteVista engine ranks your next hole.

We combine open and commercial satellite data, belt-specific ML models, and your on-the-ground geology to produce ranked drill targets with coordinates, confidence scores and clear reasoning.

Step 1 · Ingest

Multi-source satellite stack

Sentinel-2, Landsat and optional commercial scenes are atmospherically corrected, aligned and clipped to your licence.

  • Iron-oxide & clay indices (Fe, Al-OH, alteration)
  • Lineaments, structures & slope from terrain models
  • Vegetation health to see through artisanal footprint
Step 2 · Learn

Models trained on real deposits

Gradient-boosted and deep models are trained on known gold, lithium and base-metal deposits across multiple African belts.

  • Each belt uses its own feature mix and weights
  • Scores calibrated on deposits, not just pixels
  • Explainability layer highlights “why” each cell ranks
Step 3 · Deliver

Targets, maps & drill-ready coordinates

You receive a ranked list of cells, with shapefiles, KMZ, CSV of coordinates, and simple overlays for your GIS or field tablets.

  • Optional geophysics integration (Res/IP, mag, EM)
  • Optional on-site validation support in Zimbabwe
  • Designed to cut blind drilling by up to 70%

Early results

From coordinates to assays — in one loop.

Early fieldwork on our highest-ranked cells shows strong correlation between SatelliteVista scores and real-world geochemistry on the ground.

Cell #01 — Bindura greenstone belt

Model score 0.93 · Top 1% Tier-1 target

  • 18 ppb Au in soil samples (top 0.8% percentile for the grid)
  • Iron-oxide & alteration halo tracking a mapped shear
  • Artisanal workings < 600 m down-trend from the anomaly

SatelliteVista scores are not “magic dots” — they’re ranked hypotheses designed to focus mapping, geochem and geophysics where they matter most.

BSF & Circular Agriculture

Zimbabwe Black Soldier Fly (BSF) & Circular Agriculture Intelligence Module.

Add-on service for the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, ZLC and private agro-processors — turning urban waste into protein, organic fertilizer and forex savings.

Zimbabwe BSF Opportunity (2025–2030)

Zimbabwe is burning foreign currency on imported fertilizer and feed — while millions of tonnes of organic waste rot in our cities.

  • ~450,000 tonnes of chemical fertilizer imported yearly → USD 350–450 million forex drain
  • Poultry & pig feed imports cost another ~USD 180 million (mostly soy & fishmeal)
  • Urban areas produce >1.2 million tonnes of organic waste yearly (markets, breweries, abattoirs, food processors)
  • Black Soldier Fly larvae can convert 1 tonne of waste into 200–250 kg protein + 400–500 kg frass in 12–14 days

SatelliteVista BSF Intelligence – What We Monitor

Capability Satellite + AI Method Direct Benefit to Zimbabwe
1. Organic Waste Hotspot Mapping Daily detection of market waste piles, brewery slops, abattoir waste & chicken manure using 3 m imagery + thermal / temporal signatures. Shows exactly where to place collection points & BSF plants → no transport forex wasted.
2. Optimal BSF Facility Site Selection AI scores every ward/district by waste volume, road access, proximity to poultry/pig farms and water availability. Guarantees each new BSF plant is profitable from day 1.
3. Larvae Growth & Facility Performance Weekly satellite + on-site IoT sensors track waste input vs. larvae output vs. frass tonnage. Real-time proof for investors, banks & government subsidy programmes.
4. Frass Impact Monitoring Before/after NDVI & soil organic carbon maps on farms applying BSF frass. Scientific evidence that soil health is improving and inorganic fertilizer use drops 30–70%.
5. National Forex Savings Dashboard Combines satellite data with farmer surveys & import statistics. Live counter: “USD saved this month on fertilizer & feed imports” — for Cabinet & Parliament.

Real Numbers We Can Already Show (Dec 2025 pilot – Harare & Bulawayo)

Metric (2025) Current Situation With 50 medium BSF plants
(achievable 2026–2028)
Organic waste diverted from landfill ~80,000 t/year → 600,000 t/year
Protein produced locally 0 t/year → 120,000–150,000 t/year
(replaces ~60% of imported soy/fishmeal)
Organic fertilizer (frass) produced 0 t/year → 250,000–300,000 t/year
(replaces 50–60% of imported NPK)
Forex saved annually → USD 280–350 million saved
Jobs created (women & youth) → 8,000–12,000 direct jobs

Tight Integration with Existing SatelliteVista Services

  • Same national dashboard you already use for land audit & road monitoring.
  • New “BSF & Circular Economy” layer toggle on top of existing layers.
  • Automatic alerts when a new market waste pile appears → immediate collection opportunity for BSF operators.
  • Yield prediction models include “frass-boosted” scenarios where maize & sorghum yields increase 18–28% with 50% less chemical fertilizer.

We can switch on a BSF Waste-to-Protein Live Demo Layer for Harare, Chitungwiza, Bulawayo and Gweru within 48 hours — showing every major waste pile glowing on the map and the exact forex-saving potential per suburb.

Zimbabwe can become the first SADC country to turn rotting waste into affordable protein and fertilizer at national scale — and GeoVist.ai will provide the eyes in the sky to prove it every single day.

Africa focus

Built in Zimbabwe for African belts.

The first version of SatelliteVista is tuned for Zimbabwe’s greenstone and granite-greenstone belts, with models being extended to other African terrains.

Zimbabwe & Southern Africa

Why we start on the Bindura-Mazowe trend.

Zimbabwe offers an unusual mix: open data, under-explored ground, and long-life gold and battery-metal deposits along the same trends.

  • Existing models trained on greenstone belts around Bindura & Mazowe
  • On-ground relationships with local explorers & miners
  • Ability to close the loop quickly with Res/IP, mag and drilling

Expandable to your belt.

As we ship results in Zimbabwe, we’re building belt-specific variants that can be adapted to other African jurisdictions with similar geology.

  • Gold-focused model to start; lithium & base-metals variants in development
  • Feature set can ingest your own geophysics & geochem where available
  • Designed to slot into your existing exploration workflow, not replace it

If you operate in Africa and want to be part of the next pilot cohort, we’d like to hear from you.

Request a free target or BSF & circular-ag review.

One short call, then we run your ground or programme through the engine and share a ranked preview — plus how we’d integrate with your exploration, agriculture or policy team.

What happens next?

Share your licence polygons, BSF / circular economy concept, or national programme brief. We’ll run a preliminary model and walk you through the output live.

Typical use cases:

  • Prioritising ground for mapping, soil grids and geophysics
  • Designing BSF corridors around markets, breweries and agro-processors
  • Food security and fertilizer import-reduction programmes

For pilots we focus on explorers and mid-tier producers, plus government and enterprise partners in Zimbabwe and neighbouring jurisdictions.
