Speed up discovery with geology in command

AI accelerates the search, but geologists make the calls. Our team validates every prediction and sample to keep you ahead of risk and closer to ore.

Faster targeting

Machine learning cuts exploration time by identifying high-probability zones.

Lower risk

Geological review at each stage prevents costly mistakes and false leads.

Geologically validated

Every target is backed by geological reasoning you can explain to partners, boards, and drill crews.

AI and Geology synergy

Our Approach

From desktop to discovery

Prepare the data

We merge your data with publicly available geological information and transform it into organized, layered formats.

Run the model

Our experts review machine learning assessments that identify regions most likely to contain mineral deposits.

Test on ground

Geologists visit the field, collect samples, and verify the accuracy of the predicted targets.

Sharpen targets

Field data is incorporated back into the model to generate increasingly accurate predictions until a breakthrough is achieved.

Resource Development

From discovery to deposit

Drill program management and delineation

We design and manage comprehensive drill programs to systematically explore and delineate mineral deposits, ensuring optimal resource definition through strategic drilling campaigns.

Geological modelling

Our geologists create detailed 3D geological models that accurately represent subsurface structures, lithology, and mineralization patterns to guide exploration and development decisions.

Mineral resource estimation

Using advanced geostatistical methods and industry-standard practices, we estimate mineral resources with confidence, providing reliable tonnage and grade assessments for project evaluation.

Scoping study

We conduct comprehensive scoping studies that evaluate project economics, technical feasibility, and development pathways to support informed investment and strategic planning decisions.

"Mercator's AI identified prospects we would have missed entirely. Their prospectivity models gave us the confidence to move forward with exploration."

FAQ

Questions about our approach, timeline, and how we work with your data.

Machine learning processes vast geological datasets to identify patterns humans might miss. It narrows the search area and reduces exploration costs. Once our geologists review and approve the targets, they validate these predictions on the ground.
