2026 Agenda Sessions

Understanding the future when boots-on-the-ground meets next-generation tech

Exploration technology has revolutionised how we model deposits, predict mineralisation, and accelerate decision-making. Yet, no algorithm can replace the nuanced judgment of a geologist standing on site. Direct observation, ground-truthing, and complex interpretation remain the backbone of discovery. This session explores how cutting-edge tools – AI-driven mapping, remote sensing, and geospatial analytics – are augmenting, not replacing, the expertise of field geologists.
