About Us – GeoDrone Analytics (GDA)

GeoDrone Analytics (GDA) is a South African geospatial solutions company specialising in high-quality aerial surveying, geological mapping, structural data capture, and drone-based analytics. Our mission is to transform land, mining, and construction projects through accurate data, intelligent analysis, and accessible geospatial technology.

GDA was founded by Melvin Meyer, a qualified geoscientist with a BSc, Honours, and MSc (cum laude) in Applied Geology. Melvin has worked across South Africa and Southern Africa as a hydrographic surveyor, mudlogger, and mine geologist, gaining extensive experience in field operations, geodata interpretation, and scientific problem-solving.

With hands-on skills in geological mapping, geotechnical investigations, volumetric surveying, petrophysics, QGIS, ArcGIS, and Python-based data analysis, GDA bridges the gap between physical field data and digital spatial intelligence.

We believe in creating data you can trust, insights you can use, and solutions that improve operational decision-making.
