How can technological innovation in mineral exploration help address the mineral discovery deficit?

How is emerging technology revolutionising geoscientific data, acquisition, processing, and integration and is this expediating and derisking mineral exploration?
How can the application of AI and machine learning help reduce the time from data to insight and remove uncertainty in understanding the mineral deposit? Will this attract investment?
Is technological maturity and the high upfront cost of many exploration technologies putting organisations off?
