Greencastle Subsidary Deveron Acquires Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drone) Company


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 17, 2015) - Greencastle Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VGN) ("Greencastle" or "the Company"), is pleased to report that the Company's 65.8% owned subsidiary Deveron Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DVR) ("Deveron") has executed a binding Letter Agreement outlining the terms and conditions upon which Deveron will acquire 2487473 Ontario Inc. ("Ontco") operating as Eagle Scout Imaging ("Eagle Scout"). Through the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Systems ("UAS" or "Drones"), Eagle Scout acquires high resolution aerial imaging data of crop acreage. Eagle Scout then processes the data and develops prescriptions to improve crop yield.

"UAS are transforming the way businesses collect data and we are excited to see Deveron enter this space," commented Greencastle's CEO, Anthony Roodenburg. "We see applications for drones across multiple verticals and look forward to Deveron's progress in agriculture through 2016. As an investor in Deveron, we are offering a way for our shareholders to diversify out of purely resources and participate in this new, rapidly expanding industry."

Eagle Scout uses drones and state-of-the-art camera, sensor and software technologies to collect data that can be used with existing farm GIS software for variable rate fertilizing, seeding, pesticide applications and other prescription management solutions. Eagle Scout provides Normalized Difference Vegetation Indexing ("NDVI") imaging as well as other valuable information related to plant health which ultimately enhances yield and maximizes profitability. Eagle Scout is fully insured and approved by Transport Canada for activities in Ontario under a Special Flight Operating Certificate. Ontario has over 7 million acres of prime agricultural land, and Eagle Scout is well positioned to capture the growth opportunities that exist in this new market.

The use of drones is transforming how aerial images and data are collected and analyzed in many industries with applications in pipeline inspection, forestry management, precision agriculture, media production, mine site surveying and many others. A recent industry overview by CB Insights reports that capital is flowing into UAS companies at an ever accelerating rate. Recently, a UAS company completed Canada's third largest technology financing of 2015 at $60 million. These capital inflows are generating rapid improvements in UAS hardware and software and uncovering new applications almost daily.
