Why it matters

Exploration is now a data + compute problem

“Critical minerals” are formally defined in U.S. policy, supply chains are tightening, and the public geoscience corpus is enormous—but underutilized without serious data engineering.

Strategic urgency

U.S. law defines critical minerals as non-fuel commodities essential to economic or national security with vulnerable supply chains.

Energy Act of 2020 (DOE / CRS)

Exploding demand

In IEA climate-driven scenarios, lithium demand is projected to grow by over 40× by 2040 (fastest among major minerals).

IEA — Critical minerals report

Data deluge

USGS hosts petabyte-scale Earth observation and national-scale geoscience datasets (Earth MRI, USMIN, geochem, geophysics) that require harmonization to be decision-ready.

Workflow

From Orbit to Ore

A clean, repeatable loop: data → signals → targets → defensible outputs.

Ingest

Bring in public + proprietary layers: remote sensing, geophysics, geochem, structural + topo, drillhole logs.

Harmonize

Normalize schemas, georeference, unify vocabularies, and make the stack queryable (schema-on-read).

Prospect

Generate and compare prospectivity surfaces, alteration indicators, and anomaly stacks.

Rank → Export

Turn hypotheses into ranked targets, reports, and GIS-ready exports for field validation.

Data + AI core

A geoscience data lake with models built in

The platform is designed to integrate multi-modal datasets (geochem, geophysics, remote sensing, topo/structural, drillholes) and run exploration-specific AI workflows on top. For interoperability, it targets OGC map services and REST handoffs.

Harmonized geoscience data lake

Schema-on-read, queryable layers, fast filters, and project workspaces designed for continent-scale stacks.

  • Geochem + geophysics + remote sensing
  • Topography + structural geology
  • Drillhole logs + assays (when available)

Exploration models (in development)

Methods under development

Domain models aimed at reducing early-stage cost and cycle time (with uncertainty-aware outputs).

  • FusionNet™ — generative geophysics
  • TargetRanger™ — prospectivity ranking
  • GeoGPT™ — report drafting + knowledge
  • EconOpt™ — scenario economics

Defensible outputs

Make your work portable: export layers, targets, and technical packages for partners, regulators, and field teams.

  • Ranked targets + anomaly stacks
  • Grade–tonnage & scenario views
  • Report templates + audit trail goals

Data coverage

A serious starting point (and expandable)

We design around major public programs like Earth MRI, USMIN and national geochemical databases, and we aim to keep ingestion modular so your proprietary layers can drop in cleanly.

Geochem at scale

Millions of assays across rock/soil/sediment/water and concentrate datasets — ready for spatial joins and feature engineering.

National geophysics

Magnetics, gravity, radiometrics and more — unified into a consistent spatial stack for anomaly screening.

Remote sensing

Multispectral + hyperspectral imagery pipelines for alteration, structure, and surface mineral indicators.

If you share a region + commodity focus, we’ll provide a coverage view (datasets, vintages, resolution) and the recommended workflow to get to drill-ready targets.

Enterprise-grade design

Interoperable, secure, and collaboration-ready

For GIS interoperability, we align with OGC web services (WMS) and common enterprise GIS patterns (e.g., ArcGIS support for OGC services).

Cloud-native compute

Microservices with elastic GPU/CPU execution paths for ingestion, tiling, and model runs.

Security posture

Encryption in transit/at rest, RBAC patterns, and paths toward SSO and sovereign hosting options.

Toolchain handoff

OGC-WMS + REST patterns for linking to ArcGIS/QGIS and downstream 3D/geo modeling workflows.

Ideal users

Built for teams that need answers, not dashboards

Juniors & mid-tiers

Greenfield and brownfield plays—screen targets faster and defend hypotheses with a consistent evidence stack.

OEMs & battery manufacturers

Secure upstream offtake—compare regions, risks, and signals with a transparent pipeline to targets.

Government resource agencies

Accelerate strategic assessments—turn public archives into structured, queryable, comparable outputs.

PE & royalty funds

Screen deal flow—rank upside and surface the “why” behind targets using audit-friendly artifacts.

Context: global energy investment is projected to reach $3.3T in 2025—supply chains and mineral availability matter more than ever.
