Vancouver, BC – December 04, 2025 – ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology business solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces it has signed an offer to acquire a long-established, multi-office Queensland, Australia-based surveying and spatial services firm, marking a significant step in the company’s global expansion strategy. This targeted acquisition represents ZenaTech’s first entry into Australia and provides a strategic gateway for expanding the Drone as a Service platform throughout the broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, strengthening the company’s position in one of the world’s most active mining and industrial ecosystems.
“Australia is a globally significant market for mining, infrastructure, and high-precision spatial data, and this opportunity aligns directly with ZenaTech’s long-term vision for international DaaS expansion,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “This acquisition provides a strategic entry point into the APAC region and positions ZenaTech to deliver advanced drone-enabled solutions to government and commercial clients across key sectors.”
The target firm is a long-established, multi-office Australian surveying and spatial services firm with a proven history of delivering high-quality outcomes across a range of public and private sector projects. It is an early adopter of leading survey technologies with advanced reality-capture and geospatial capabilities, including drone-enabled survey workflows, LiDAR, and mobile mapping, applied consistently across its service offerings.
This acquisition would extend Drone as a Service into a new vertical within the natural resources sector. By integrating the target company’s advanced spatial capabilities with ZenaTech’s drone solutions, the company anticipates a more comprehensive and sector-diverse offering to one of Australia’s most data-intensive and resource-driven markets.
ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) offering is designed to provide business and government clients with flexible and on-demand or subscription-based access to drone services for surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, inventory management, precision agriculture, and other services, without the capital costs or operational burdens of ownership. By acquiring established, profitable service companies ready for drone innovation, ZenaTech is building a global, multi-service DaaS network anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue.
