Vault Minerals (ASX:VAU) has signed an 18-month contract with RocketDNA’s (ASX:RKT) subsidiary for the continued provision of integrated aerial data at the King of the Hills (KOTH) gold operation in Western Australia. The contract is valued at an estimated $705,000 and is expected to generate approximately $470,000 in annual recurring revenue.
