Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. (AVV-CSE) announces the signing of a Letter of Intent to purchase a 100% interest in Aeromao Inc.

Aeromao is a manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) used for survey and mapping purposes.  Aeromao has quickly grown into a leader in the industry with their UAVs.  Aeromao has sold their proprietary line of Aeromapper UAVs to clients operating in every continent – and approximately 50 countries in total.

Since its conception the proprietary Aeromapper line of fixed wing UAVs has offered mapping and surveying companies a unique product in the quickly expanding marketplace.  Competing manufacturers have not yet created a competitive product, which makes the Aeromapper line of UAVs true leaders in their categories.  Critical competitive advantages are the superior battery life (equating to longer flight times), modularity and unique design characteristics, GNSS PPK capabilities, specific manufacturing processes, and affordability.

Aeromao has been growing consistently year-over-year since inception.  It booked $614,849 of revenue in fiscal year 2015, which was an increase of 28% over the revenue of 2014.

Alta Vista has agreed to acquire Aeromao for $1,400,000 and 2,200,000 shares of Alta Vista.  The companies have agreed to complete the required due diligence and prepare the definitive agreement for signing within 90 days.

About Aeromao Inc.:

Aeromao has been in business since 2013 and has quickly grown into a world leader in the industry. The Aeromapper line of UAVs are operating in every continent and in approximately 50 countries.

Aeromao is backed by years of experience and a history of innovative endeavours in the area of UAVs for high-precision mapping. Its roots date back to 2005 where the principles were involved in Latin America providing aerial photography and photomapping services with UAVs and RPVs (Remotely Piloted Vehicles) where they successfully completed more than 280 flight missions, in times where UAV services where unheard of. These missions resulted in high quality flight operations and imagery in complex terrain and evolving technology. These flight operations were completed for projects for government institutions, private firms and even military agencies.
