(Boursier.com) — Delta Drone International Limited announced on July 27, 2022 the signing of a contract with Assmang Proprietary Limited for drone mapping services.
This contract corresponds to a renewal over three years and represents a total value of 0.9 MAU$ (10.3 M ZAR) and annual recurring revenue (ARR) of 293,000 Australian dollars (3.45 MZAR).
The contract is subject to a right of Khumani to terminate the contract if Rocketmine Pty Ltd or an associated company does not convert to a 51% accredited B-BBEE entity within 21 months.
Assmang operates in South Africa under the B-BBEE framework which aims to facilitate broader participation of black people in the economy. The contract with Assmang states that within 21 months of commencement, Rocketmine Pty Ltd will constitute a 51% B-BBEE Accredited Entity, by which Khumani is to be billed, with Assmang’s consent. This contractual clause is a right of Assmang and may or may not be enforced. Currently, Rocketmine Pty Ltd is a 26% accredited B-BBEE entity.
Drone services will include survey mapping and blast inspections for Assmang Khumani iron ore mine.
Christopher Clark, CEO of Delta Drone International, said: “We are very pleased to have renewed our services for another 3 years with the Khumani mine, which is a leading player in the iron ore mining sector. This contract brings our recently reported ARR (annual recurring revenue) to an effective ARR of A$2 million at the end of July 2022.”

The mine has a capacity to extract 14 million tons of iron ore per year.
