Project description
AI-driven digital transformation of mining
The mining industry is going digital. The first drill driven by artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to support the industry. It makes it possible to generate data sets of high quality and consistency. However, manual mapping can take several weeks or up to a year to complete, and it risks being subjective or biased. The AI mapping functionality will reduce production time to just a few minutes, requiring human oversight only for quality control. The EIC project SensAI Mining proposes the first complete AI-driven drill core mapping solution. The solution will use data gathered by a sensor, non-destructive to the samples, to provide the user with data and automatically generated geological mapping. Digitalisation and automation will increase sample analysis objectivity and consistency and reduce geologists’ manual work.
Objective
Our solution is the first complete AI-driven drill core mapping solution. It is unique among drill core assay methods used in mining: it will use data gathered by a sensor, non-destructive to the samples, to provide the user with not only data, but also with automatically generated geological mapping. Digitalising and automating this part of workflow will increase objectivity and consistency of sample analysis, as well as decrease the amount of manual work required by a geologist.
The datasets generated by Minalyzer CS, our patented sensor (SE1000537, granted in Sweden, Finland, Canada and Australia), are characterised by the highest quality and consistency. Manual mapping based on them may still take from weeks up to a year and be subjective or biased. The introduction of the AI mapping functionality will reduce that time to minutes, with human oversight necessary for quality control only.
This will be the next step in the Minalyze-led transformation of the mining industry.
