Autonomous drone over a mining concession

Intelligent aerial security built for remote African mines

Keep your workers safe, stop illegal mining, and protect your transport trucks. Algorealm uses teams of self-flying drones that watch over a 100km² area without needing the internet. We give your on-site security team early warnings before trouble ever reaches your property.

The landscape

Why standard security fails
at remote mines.

Guarding a remote gold or lithium concession is tough. Sprawling boundaries, thick bush canopy, and seasonal mud or dust destroy traditional setups. Standard security tools usually break down because of three main issues:

Connectivity gap
No Internet

Cloud-dependent cameras and standard commercial drones stop working the moment local cellular or internet networks drop out in the bush.

Coverage gap
Too Much Land

Physical fences are too expensive to build over a 100km² lease, and human foot patrols leave massive geographic gaps that organized thieves easily exploit.

Security gap
Data Leaks

Sending your proprietary mine maps, concession layouts, and high-value transport schedules to foreign cloud servers leaves your business vulnerable to corporate espionage.

What it is

Warnings before the pit is breached.
Not footage after it is.

Samaritan is an AI-powered security system. It watches your concession, waste piles, tailings facilities, and haul roads around the clock — no human has to sit and stare at camera feeds.

Built for remote mine sites where cellular and internet coverage cannot be relied on, Samaritan transforms streams of thermal and optical sensor data into actionable intelligence — giving your security team the awareness needed to intervene before illegal extraction or an ambush ever reaches your property.

To create persistent situational awareness over a 100km² lease, Samaritan deploys a coordinated swarm of autonomous aircraft that share information, maintain coverage, and operate continuously without requiring a human pilot for every aircraft.

How it worksSee solutions
Drone surveillance overview
Our system: Samaritan

Five simple reasons it works where others fail.

01

Real Warnings, Not Just Video

We don't just stream hours of raw, exhausting video for a human operator to watch. Our software automatically spots threats — like illegal pit setups, perimeter fences being cut, or armed groups in the bush — and alerts your team with the exact coordinates immediately.

02

100% Offline (Zero-Bandwidth)

Samaritan works completely without the internet. Every byte of security data is processed right at the mine site on local, rugged hardware you control. Your high-value maps and vulnerability logs stay completely private, sovereign, and offline.

03

Drones That Work Together

The drones fly as a team and communicate natively with each other via an encrypted, peer-to-peer local radio network. If one drone gets damaged or its battery runs low, the remaining drones automatically change their routes to cover the gap without requiring a human pilot.

04

Total Coverage With No Blind Spots

The system moves the drones in unpredictable, randomized, AI-driven patrol matrices across your 100km² property. Because the flight schedules and paths change constantly, illicit mining syndicates can never time your patrols to sneak past your perimeter.

05

Mission-Hardened Hardware

These are heavy-duty, weather-resistant industrial VTOL aircraft built to handle extreme heat, thick dust, and heavy mining blasts. Equipped with long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal cameras, they cut through night darkness and tree canopy, launching directly from automated base stations or moving trucks.

Operational workflows

Built for two main jobs.

Guarding the Mine Pit & Perimeter

Automated drone flights scan your concession boundaries, waste piles, and tailings management facilities day and night. The system catches illegal artisanal mining encampments, equipment sabotage, and perimeter trespassing before illegal extraction can scale.

  • Concession boundaries stretch across 100km² — too vast for fences or foot patrols
  • Illegal artisanal mining encampments appear and vanish before guards ever arrive
  • Waste piles and tailings facilities sit unmonitored through the night
  • By the time equipment sabotage is discovered, the crew is already gone

— Is the south pit safe to leave unguarded tonight?

An unregistered encampment of 6 persons has been detected on the SW boundary, consistent with 3 prior artisanal mining incidents in this sector. Recommend immediate ground response before extraction equipment is moved in.

The intelligence layer

It does not just watch.
It thinks.

Every previous surveillance pitch has been about a camera. Samaritan is an analyst that never sleeps — learning your specific ground, your specific threats, your specific patterns.

Learns your baseline

After days of watching, Samaritan knows what normal looks like on your specific concession. It builds a model of expected activity across the pit, perimeter, and haul roads — and flags deviations the moment they appear.

Finds recurring patterns

A vehicle that appeared three Tuesday nights in a row. An approach vector used in every previous ambush attempt. Samaritan surfaces these patterns before they become the next incident.

Answers plain-language questions

Ask anything. "What happened overnight?" "Has this vehicle been seen before?" "Which sector is highest risk tonight?" Samaritan answers from your operational data — specific, grounded, actionable.

Stays in your country

Every byte of operational data is processed on hardware you control, inside your country. No foreign servers. No data-sharing agreements. No dependency on external networks that can be switched off.

OP
What happened overnight on the south perimeter?
AI
Three approaches between 0130–0300. Two were classified as routine patrol crossings based on gait and time-of-day profile. The third — arriving at 0247 — does not match any known profile. Thermal signature matches the May 15 artisanal mining crew. It departed without reaching the tailings fence. Recommend flag for tonight.
OP
Same crew as last week?
AI
Yes. 94% confidence match on thermal and movement profile. This is the 4th appearance in 22 days. Previous three visits were surveillance runs. Tonight may be operational.
