Mining is the riskiest gamble ever.

Every year, mining companies pour billions of dollars into exploration, with most projects leading to nothing.

The bottleneck isn't capital, it's knowing where to strike gold.

X-Ray Geoanalytics has a new solution

A new, innovative platform that will transform the way exploration is being done. Powered by AI, new models are being developed to help geologists peer deeper into our planet.

  1. 01

    Clean

    Remote sensingGeophysicsGeochemistry

    Exploration data, such as drilling and remote sensing data, is uploaded and formatted so the models can read it.

  2. 02

    Train

    Known depositTrainingHeld-out test

    Models are trained on exploration data as well as proprietary data collected by our own team and then validated against labels derived from previous projects.

  3. 03

    Predict

    LowHigh

    The model will be able to tell the customer exactly where to drill, down to the exact coordinates and depth.

Validated metrics on the Great Basin.

Our current lithium model has a 95% recall with 80% precision, meaning that, on average, out of every 100 lithium deposits it will predict 95 of them, and 80% of its predictions are lithium.

From prototype to platform.

Our Great Basin lithium model is a working prototype. Here is the path from that prototype to a product mining companies can rely on.

  1. Now

    Prototype model

    A finished prototype built to predict Lithium in the Great Basin.

  2. Next

    Finer models

    A series of progressively finer models, working down toward 1×1 m, precise enough to site individual boreholes.

  3. Then

    Field testing

    Checking predictions against real drilling and sampling, and feeding the results back until the model is accurate enough to sell.

  4. Then

    Software platform

    Geologist teams import their survey data and get ranked drill targets, a heat map, a 3D view of the target area and other geoanalysis tools.

  5. Later

    Other minerals

    Models to predict other critical minerals such as cobalt and nickel.
