VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 the closing of its acquisition of Rampart Surveys Inc., a Woodland Park, Colo.-based land surveying firm with nearly three decades of experience. This transaction marks ZenaTech's 12th acquisition, expanding the Drone as a Service national footprint into Colorado, providing the first presence in the US Central West region.
"Rampart Surveys brings longstanding client relationships, deep surveying expertise, and drone-based topographic survey experience to help accelerate our DaaS business," said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. "Drone-based surveying can transform Colorado's rugged mountainous terrain and agricultural markets alike, turning the state's toughest landscapes into opportunities for faster, safer, and more precise land measurement, while revolutionizing crop inspection, analysis, and health monitoring for more sustainable farming."
Founded in 1997, Rampart Surveys has established a reputation for providing boundary, land title, topographic, and construction staking surveys for commercial projects across central Colorado while maintaining strong relationships with various regional government and private-sector clients across multiple counties. The addition of Rampart Surveys positions ZenaTech to expand service delivery and broaden its DaaS portfolio across Colorado's agricultural regions to include the introduction of agricultural drone services including crop inspection, monitoring, spraying and crop health analysis.
Colorado encompasses approximately 12.2 million hectares of agricultural land, including crop production, rangeland, and mixed-use farmland. With large, difficult-to-access terrain across mountain counties and expansive commercial operations throughout the state, the region presents a substantial opportunity for drone-enabled surveying, mapping, vegetation analytics, and precision-agriculture inspection services.
ZenaTech has a goal of 25 acquisitions contributing to its Drone as a Service footprint of business locations by Q2 2026. The DaaS model offers business and government clients flexible, on-demand or subscription-based access to drone services for surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, inventory management, and precision agriculture 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 network anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue.
