Two report tiers + platform access

Premium+ is the most popular choice, as drill targeting and economic modeling make the results more actionable for exploration decisions.

Mining investors use the same reports for mining due diligence before they invest in a gold mine: ranked targets, indicative zone values and a conceptual mine plan โ€” the groundwork for any gold mine investment, ahead of a formal mine valuation.

Both report tiers deliver 90% accuracy on ranked target zones and are designed to support exploration ahead of a JORC report or NI 43-101 technical report โ€” not replace a formal mineral resource estimate under the JORC Code.

Minerals & engagement

25 minerals clients have paid us to find.

Below are the 25 minerals clients have already paid us to identify. But the technology is mineral-agnostic โ€” anything with a distinct spectral or geophysical signature can be targeted. You provide the exploration license or the concession boundary. We analyze the area and tell you what minerals are likely present, where to drill, and what the potential value could be. The process works for both greenfield and brownfield projects, without requiring a field crew, drone survey, or drilling rig to get the initial exploration results.

Quoted on request
  • Rare-earth elements

  • Rhodium
  • Palladium
  • and others

The platform can analyze any mineral target with a detectable spectral or geophysical signature โ€” including rare-earth elements, nickel sulphide, quartz, gypsum, dolomite, epidote, rhodium, palladium, and others beyond the current list. New mineral targets require calibrating the spectral library and relevant geological, density and recovery parameters, then running the same exploration pipeline. Whatever the mineral, we can analyze it.

Core technology

Satellite imagery for mineral exploration: eight sensor families, matched to your mineral list

01One index from eight sensors

No satellite can directly โ€œseeโ€ gold underground. Instead, we combine data from eight sensor families โ€” optical, SWIR, radar, thermal, magnetics, terrain, hydrology and land cover โ€” to create a single mineral prospectivity index.

02Matched to your mineral list

We then match the analysis to the minerals being targeted: multispectral data for broad mineral screening, and hyperspectral data when more detailed spectral signatures are needed to distinguish minerals that look similar in standard satellite imagery.

03Weighed the way a geologist would

This is AI in mineral exploration, and AI in mining at its most practical: mining artificial intelligence (machine learning) that weighs every layer the way an exploration geologist would. The same geology AI drives our remote sensing mineral exploration, hyperspectral mineral mapping and mineral prospectivity mapping โ€” and, for gold, a satellite gold map of the whole license.

Questions buyers ask

AI mineral exploration: questions before you order

Straight answers on cost, accuracy, timing and compliance. If yours isn't here, send your license boundary and ask us directly.

How does satellite mineral exploration work?

We combine data from eight sensor families (optical, SWIR, radar, thermal, magnetics, terrain, hydrology and land cover) over your license area and score every pixel for the minerals you are targeting. The result is a ranked list of exploration targets, each with an indicative grade, depth, tonnage and value, plus a recommended drilling direction and angle. No satellite can see gold underground directly, so the report tells you where to sample and drill first, not what is in the ground.

How much does satellite mineral exploration cost?

Satellite mineral detection is quoted per project, because each license differs in size, target minerals and the report tier you need (Premium or Premium+). Send us your license boundary and target minerals and we reply with a fixed price within one working day. See pricing for how the tiers differ.

How accurate is AI mineral exploration?

90% of our ranked target zones have been confirmed by ground or drill evidence where clients followed them up. Examples on this page include 8 of 8 diamond holes hitting gold in Kenya and 88 of 99 holes hitting economic gold in Peru. Accuracy here means the ranked zones held mineralization, not that every grade estimate matched the assay.

How long does a satellite mineral report take?

Most reports are delivered within 5 days, in four steps: you send the boundary and target minerals, we select the satellite, radar, thermal, magnetic and terrain data your geology needs, we run the analysis, and you receive a PDF report, the target files and optional Mining Pro access for the 3D and mine-planning tools.

What do I need to send to get started?

Your license, claim or concession boundary as coordinates or a KML, KMZ or GeoJSON file, plus the country and the minerals you want us to look for. If you only have a permit or survey document, send it and we will work out the boundary with you.

Is the report JORC or NI 43-101 compliant?

No. Our reports support exploration ahead of a JORC report or NI 43-101 technical report: they show where to drill and sample. A mineral resource estimate under the JORC Code or NI 43-101 needs drilling, assays and sign-off by a Competent or Qualified Person, which comes after the targets have been tested.

Satellite mineral exploration or an airborne geophysical survey: which first?

Satellite analysis first. It screens the whole license in days for a fraction of the cost of a magnetic or airborne geophysical survey, so you can focus the survey, field mapping and drilling on the ranked targets instead of the entire area.

Which minerals and countries do you cover?

Clients have paid us to find 25 minerals, including gold, copper, cobalt, lithium, silver, zinc, manganese, uranium and diamonds, and the method extends to other targets with a detectable signature. We have delivered projects in 40+ countries, from Oregon and the US Southwest to Australia and across Africa, for license holders, exploration companies, consultants and mining investors doing due diligence.
