ASX-listed mine drone survey firm RocketDNA booked A$2.48 million of December quarter revenue, up 20% year-on-year, and says it believes demand for autonomous drone and data services is building.
“The quarter was characterised by increasing xBot utilisation, deeper integration of SiteTube across customer workflows and strengthening of the company’s balance sheet to support growth into 2026,” RocketDNA said.
The company said about $2.73 million of new contracts, purchase orders and extensions in Australia and South Africa included deals with BHP, Anglo American, BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, Assmang and Norton Gold Fields.
“The business reached an inflection point during the quarter, building on the operational and technology investments made throughout 2025,” RocketDNA CEO Christopher Clark said.
“Customers are moving beyond initial trials and early deployments, increasing the number of autonomous systems in operation and expanding the use of our software and data tools across their sites.”
“Securing our first contract with BHP Iron Ore and expanding our presence at established operations such as Khumani and Norton reinforces the value customers see in autonomous drone systems that deliver reliable, repeatable data at scale.”
RocketDNA says its AI-driven drones provide aerial surveying, mapping, security, surveillance and asset inspection data and insight.
The company has a current market value of about $35 million.
