2025 Agenda Sessions
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?
