Rosor

What Rosor does

Rosor Exploration is a privately held Canadian corporation (ROSOR Corp.) founded in 2020 and headquartered in Toronto that provides airborne geophysical and geospatial surveying services to the mining and energy industries. The company deploys three proprietary drone platforms — the Rosor Arctern VTOL fixed-wing aircraft and the Rosor Recon Lite and Recon Heavy hybrid multirotors — equipped with magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric, LiDAR, hyperspectral, and photogrammetric sensors to capture high-resolution surface and subsurface data. All acquired data flows through RosorVision Suite, the company's proprietary software ecosystem, which performs multi-parameter processing, machine-learning classification, automated anomaly detection, and 2D/3D visualization delivered via a secure client portal.

Rosor generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements priced via direct contact and project scoping. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting mining and mineral exploration companies (primary), energy resource developers (hydrocarbon, geothermal, renewables, carbon capture storage), and environmental/engineering survey customers. Survey campaigns are designed, executed, and interpreted end-to-end by Rosor's in-house geological team, with documented operational scale including an 84 km² survey at the Larder Lake project for Gatling Exploration covering 2,000 line-km of magnetics in 14 days and 1,285 line-km of LiDAR in 10 days, yielding 13 priority drilling targets.

The company operates from five locations across Canada, the United States, Uruguay, and Chile, with an active international expansion push into South American mining markets. The team size remains in the 1–10 employee range, revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding rounds have been announced, and no parent company or strategic investor is evidenced in available materials. Marketing relies on the company website, published case studies, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), with distribution conducted exclusively through direct enterprise sales rather than channel partners or marketplace listings.
