Duffy<\/a>, aimed at expanding the commercial use of unmanned systems nationwide.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Founded in 2010 by a land survey and engineering industry veteran, Cardinal Civil Resources has earned a strong reputation for delivering complex survey and mapping projects for USDOT and other federal agencies, and for state agencies, municipalities and prominent city customers. Cardinal\u2019s commercial portfolio includes a large national homebuilder as well as custom residential developers, large-scale multi-unit builders, airport hangars, and the US National Park Service, reflecting the breadth of its operations and depth of trusted client relationships.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis eighth acquisition not only further expands our national footprint, but it connects us to a deeply rooted base of premier long-term government and commercial clients,\u201d said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. \u201cCardinal\u2019s trusted relationships, from transportation agencies to nationally recognized homebuilders, provides a solid foundation to scale Drone as a Service in the Southeast. With the proposed BVLOS rule just introduced by the US Transportation Secretary and growing national momentum around domestic infrastructure modernization, we believe ZenaTech\u2019s DaaS is well-positioned to lead where innovation meets demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Cardinal Civil Resources enhances ZenaTech\u2019s DaaS capabilities in the following key areas:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">\n          <strong>Established Southeast Operations<\/strong> and immediate entry into high-growth markets across Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, regions with sustained infrastructure investment and public contracting activity<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">\n          <strong>Multi-year Government Contracts<\/strong> with federal, state, and key local municipalities, which provides stable, long-term revenue and deepens the company\u2019s expertise in public-sector projects<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">\n          <strong>Commercial\/Builder Client Base, <\/strong>which spans national homebuilders, residential developers, airport facilities, and park services opens new verticals for scalable Drone as a Service deployment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=o15cCJRLpv2U54f5MLeF6Y-FzCw6GVTe4idin3ESLnZUqiNuQ_AVkbLlIPwjrTIIjSAIaN3jFb-Xbn4ogpaXqU4q7eZTA_PQpvnSx1APbmxZq4__EXtcHpcthjuuQtasgzuIhugkhWZ5qvCQc1_ywwb8nsrMV2BHCeTR6-9SE2ZDV2jj0oq8wHelRYNg1eg22GZAYsWujZRWGU3DFcWgHQCZeC7Quk8Hz_8ZvO-RvbHlR7ENz8i7crPhT-LKah06ycPnMcK8wAF-YIaqxQyYYpInr57YwjQ1lE45SVQJY8Q=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy\u2019s August 5 proposed rule<\/a> to expand Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations removes the need for case-by-case waivers, replacing them with a streamlined, standardized framework. This change unlocks wider drone use for many government land and road projects. The Company believes the Cardinal acquisition is perfectly timed, leveraging ZenaDrone\u2019s advanced drone technology with Cardinal\u2019s proven surveying expertise to deliver faster, efficient, safer and more precise results for government projects particularly with larger areas to survey or for remote and inaccessible terrains suited to a BVLOS drone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">ZenaTech has now completed eight US acquisitions toward its goal of acquiring and establishing 25 Drone as a Service locations nationwide by mid-next year. The company\u2019s DaaS model provides flexible, on-demand access to drone services for surveying, inspections, automation, and more, eliminating the need for customers to invest in drone hardware and software, pilots, maintenance, or regulatory compliance. The company is acquiring land survey engineering companies and other businesses ripe for innovation, to advance its national vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice drone business anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About ZenaTech <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NB8w8prUwsklInjtLmZqILGRNWEzCBorIVhwwQL7mFWy9yzJ1A0ZGbeoz1CPyRauqh8bxb9hHSpcGQhP01g3AA==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ZenaTech<\/a> (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) is a business technology solution provider specializing in AI drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions for mission-critical business applications.
