ZenaTech Secures Irish Aviation Authority Operational Authorization for Drone-Based Crop and Soil Nutrient Application Services
SORA-based authorization for ZenaDrone enables the Drone as a Service platform to deliver large-scale precision agriculture applications to farmers and supports planned expansion into additional European markets
Vancouver, British Columbia (September 10, 2026) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech” or the “Company”), a technology company specializing in AI drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its Drone as a Service subsidiary will expand its precision agriculture drone-based services to farmers in Ireland. The Company received Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) approval from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), granted under European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) guidelines. The approval was given to its drone subsidiary, ZenaDrone, at the Company’s EMEA DaaS headquarters located near Dublin, Ireland, authorizing large-scale targeted aerial application of fertilizer, lime, bio stimulants, and other non-plant protection products on Irish farmland and granular spreading at scale, helping farmers reduce product inputs, operating costs, risk to personnel, and environmental impact.
“This milestone for ZenaDrone and our Drone as a Service platform demonstrates that we can clear the regulatory bar for the initiation of large-scale aerial precision agriculture in Ireland and beyond,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “EASA’s framework is used across the European Union, as this approval provides a replicable template to apply market by market rather than starting fresh. We believe that precision agriculture is a large and underpenetrated opportunity globally, and having an approved and repeatable path forward will aid our rollout and recurring Drone as a Service revenue growth as we plan future expansion across Europe and into other regions.”
Precision agriculture is a sector facing historically high fertilizer costs and increasing environmental scrutiny. Drone-based aerial application allows precise, targeted spreading on terrain unsuitable for heavy machinery, reducing soil compaction and run-off risk while cutting input costs and personnel exposure. Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency reported in 2026 that nitrogen concentrations in Irish rivers rose 10% year-over-year, with excess fertilizer run-off cited as a leading cause, underscoring demand for more precise application methods of the kind that ZenaTech's ZenaDrone and DaaS platform are now authorized to provide.
The SORA authorization allows the company to operate complex, autonomous aerial missions at scale, without requiring customers to navigate aviation safety regulation, pilot certification, hardware costs and maintenance directly. Management believes this regulatory pathway supports its broader strategy of scaling DaaS as a recurring-revenue, subscription-based service across multiple geographies and industry verticals, including forestry, renewables, construction, and infrastructure monitoring.

ZenaTech Closes 29th Drone as a Service Acquisition, Adding Solar and Railroad Customers with Georgia-based U.S. Land Surveying Company Holding Licenses in 17 States
Vancouver, British Columbia, (September 15th, 2026) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that it has completed the acquisition of Merritt Paul Land Surveying, LLC (Merritt Paul), a land surveying firm based in Franklin, Georgia. Founded in 2015, Merritt Paul has built a track record providing surveying services to the solar, transportation and construction industries, including work for a major national transportation company, and specializes in utility-scale solar surveys across the U.S. The company is licensed to perform land surveys in 17 states. The acquisition marks ZenaTech's 29th Drone as a Service acquisition to date.
“This acquisition deepens our Drone as a Service platform in two of the fastest-growing verticals for aerial data collection: utility-scale solar and transportation infrastructure,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “The drone solar inspection market alone is growing at 25% annually according to market analysts, and we see similar growth trajectory opportunities across railroad and airport infrastructure as operators move away from manual survey methods towards AI automation. Merritt Paul's founders, Tyler Bius and Levi George, each bring more than a decade of specialized survey experience with major rail and airport clients, and their team's deep sector expertise provides a strong platform to scale drone-based solar, rail and airport surveying.”
Merritt Paul provides topographic, ALTA, boundary, as-built and construction layout surveys, with a specialized focus on utility-scale solar and battery storage projects across the U.S. Their longstanding client base spans solar developers, transportation, construction, and municipal, county and state infrastructure customers in the Atlanta and Southwest Georgia areas.
Drone-based inspection is becoming the norm across utility-scale solar farms to identify underperforming panels, wiring faults and hot spots using thermal imaging, cutting inspection time and labor costs compared to manual walk-downs. The drone solar inspection market is projected to grow from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $6.8 billion by 2032, a CAGR of approximately 25%, according to Verified Market Research. Management believes this growth, paired with continued expansion of utility-scale solar capacity across the U.S., will drive increasing demand for drone-based inspection and survey services across solar assets.
Drone-based surveying is increasingly used to map rail corridors, inspect track beds, culverts and overhead infrastructure, and support construction staking and grading work at airports without disrupting active operations. High-resolution imagery, LiDAR and photogrammetry allow survey teams to capture rail corridor and runway-adjacent data faster and more safely than traditional ground crews. The broader inspection drone market, which covers infrastructure sectors including rail and aviation, is projected to grow from roughly $4 billion in 2025 to more than $12 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. Management believes this growth, combined with tightening safety and compliance requirements, will continue to expand demand for drone-based survey and inspection services across rail networks and airport facilities.
ZenaTech's Drone as a Service platform provides business and government customers with subscription-based drone services using its vertically integrated ZenaDrone drones, for a host of surveying, inspections, maintenance, power washing, and precision agriculture solutions, eliminating the need for customers to own, operate and maintain commercial-grade drone fleets. Through the acquisition of established, profitable but under-digitized service businesses, ZenaTech is building a scalable global Drone as a Service network and AI autonomy platform, with recurring revenue and an existing customer base, while integrating advanced drone technologies to deliver greater speed, precision, safety, and data-driven insights. The Company continues to expand its geographic footprint, service offerings, and drone capabilities to drive long-term growth.
