Botswana Diamonds Plc, a key player in the mining industry, is revolutionizing the search for diamond deposits and other minerals by harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Leveraging Planetary AI Ltd's innovative Xplore Minerals prospective technology, the company aims to unearth new opportunities and enhance exploration efforts. Xplore, a cutting-edge system fueled by semantic technologies and machine learning, enables computers to interpret and reason with geological data in a manner akin to human thinking. This sophisticated approach not only improves the effectiveness of information retrieval but also allows for the identification of probable mineralization zones based on specific deposit models. With the ability to process vast datasets at lightning speed, AI detects logical gaps and learns to correct them, mimicking the expertise of a geologist with unparalleled efficiency. This initiative promises to uncover drillable sites that were previously unknown, providing new insights and opportunities for exploration. "Our mineral database in Botswana is simply vast. We have always believed that there are more diamond deposits to be found under the sand. Now there is the possibility of other deposits being identified," shares John Teeling, Chairman of Botswana Diamonds. This bold step forward underscores the company's commitment to innovation and its relentless pursuit of unlocking the untapped potential of mineral resources. #AIinMining #MineralExploration #InnovationInMining #BotswanaDiamonds #Hakunamatatamedia

Did you know? AI has discovered a vast copper deposit crucial for its own advancement! 🧠✨ AI isn’t just making headlines in tech—it’s revolutionizing industries like mining too. In a groundbreaking development, AI technology was used to locate a significant copper deposit in Zambia, as reported by The Economic Times. This discovery highlights how AI can analyze vast geological data to find valuable resources faster and more accurately than traditional methods. Impressive, right? This technology doesn’t just stop at copper. AI-driven exploration is set to transform the entire mining sector by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and even minimizing environmental impact. The possibilities are immense! Want to see how AI can transform your industry? At Therix, we're leveraging cutting-edge technology to help businesses innovate and grow.

The impact of AI. DID YOU KNOW? It is no longer enough for data to be of known accuracy and precision; to be AI-ready, it must be error-free and validated. So to inform the complex decisions needed from exploration through design, development to exploitation requires a significant shift in the resource characterisation and knowledge that has traditionally been used. #Veracio #mining #solutions #IA #data #exploration #characterisation #competitiveness #scanning #witness #resources #reserves #resources

I'm sure we've seen the viral news involving Large scale Copper deposits in Zambia discovered by KoBold Metals. How were they able to achieve this ? well, KoBold Metals says it uses artificial intelligence to create a “Google Maps” of the Earth’s crust to help find new deposits of copper, lithium, cobalt and nickel. During our Google developer Student Club event last year at the University of Zambia this was one of the main things that was covered during my presentation on Artificial Intelligence in Mining and Agriculture in Zambia, today it's a reality on our own soils. The capabilities of Artificial Intelligence transcend traditional boundaries, opening up new horizons for innovation and progress. Article source: https://lnkd.in/dxFkKdS9 #AI #zambiantech #mining

I am very excited to announce that Sriya.AI has developed and tested world's 1st "Heterogenous Large Numerical Model (HeLNM)". HeLNM is where multiple adjoining datasets are merged to create a master dataset which contains more meaning, information and training than each individual data set. For example: The effect of weather on mining and the combined effect of weather and mining on electricity consumption. Alternately, effect of weather of electricity generation and the combined effect on silica impurity concentration in mining. HeLNMs differ from HoLNMs or homogenous LNM where datasets of same or similar domain or types are merged. We tested a pre-trained model on just mining; mining + weather; mining + electric; mining + weather + electric datasets and saw 86 - 99.9% prediction accuracies and precision on the 2 target features being first predicted and then improved namely: 1. Reduction in silica impurity concentration 2. Reduction in electricity consumption. PFA the results.

What an exciting start to the week! Yesterday, our Chief Product Officer, Dr. Hemant Chaurasia, delivered keynote presentation at AusIMM's 6th International Future Mining Conference. Dr. Hemant Chaurasia explored how space and AI are unifying the end-to-end exploration journey to accelerate discovery.🛰️🌏 Historically, the lack of integration between data collection, processing, and targeting has limited the speed, scale, and precision of exploration efforts worldwide. While each technology alone can make a significant impact on mineral discovery, integrating them into a cohesive, end-to-end solution enhances compatibility with modern mining operations and paves the way for real-time exploration at scale.
