Data Integration Engine

Exploration data is fragmented across formats, systems, and vendors. Xplarion automatically harmonizes every layer into a single spatial framework, resampled to 100m resolution and ready for AI analysis.

No manual GIS work. No projection headaches. Just a clean, unified, AI-ready dataset.

  • 9 data categories supported: Remote sensing, radiometrics (U, Th, K), magnetics, gravity, GIS, geology, geochemistry, DEM, and unlabeled survey data
  • Public + proprietary datasets: Government surveys, company-owned drillhole logs, satellite imagery, lab assays
  • Automatic CRS harmonization: Reprojects and aligns all layers to a common spatial reference
  • Proprietary data stays private: Your datasets are never shared, indexed, or used to train models for others

Target Prioritization Module

Our semi-supervised Variational Autoencoder learns from both known deposits and unlabeled ground simultaneously, scoring every sub-zone across your area of interest against structural controls, alteration signatures, geophysical anomalies, and historical deposit analogs.

Every ranked target comes with a full geological rationale your team can interrogate and build on. No black boxes.

  • Semi-supervised learning: Trains on labeled deposits AND unlabeled data — no competitor requires as little ground truth to get started
  • Multi-criteria scoring: Structural, alteration, geophysical, geochemical, and analog-match criteria weighted by commodity type. Validated with AUC, precision, and recall metrics.
  • Explainable AI (XAI): Every score is explained using SHAP values, LIME, permutation feature importance, and attention mechanism visualizations
  • Deposit-type flexibility: Uranium, gold, copper, lithium, REE, and more
  • Prospectivity maps: Full-area prediction maps overlaid with ranked drill targets, ready for geological interpretation
  • Expert review layer: Xplarion geoscientists QA every deliverable before it reaches your dashboard

Exploration Workflow Optimizer

Exploration is iterative. As you collect new field data (soil samples, geophysical surveys, drillhole results), Xplarion re-analyzes your program in real time and updates your target rankings accordingly.

Every new data point makes the model smarter. You spend less time re-processing and more time drilling the right holes.

  • Real-time target refresh: Upload new results and receive updated rankings within hours
  • Ground-truth loop: Field observations feed back into the model to calibrate future recommendations
  • Stage-gated program design: Regional → scout → infill recommendations at each decision point
  • Collaborative dashboard: Share results with your full team, geologists, and investors in one place

Strategic Roadmap Assistant

Early-stage exploration budgets are finite. The Strategic Roadmap Assistant helps your team allocate spend with precision, focusing every dollar on the highest-probability corridors.

From greenfield discovery to brownfield optimization, we help you structure a phased, cost-efficient exploration program that maximizes the value of every decision point.

  • Budget optimization model: Recommends allocation across regional, scout, and drill phases based on risk/reward
  • Greenfield to brownfield: Platform scales from open, untested ground to existing resource expansion
  • Investor-ready outputs: Program summaries and target maps formatted for technical reports and NI 43-101 contexts
  • Scenario planning: Compare budget scenarios and their impact on target coverage and risk profile
Budget Allocation: Phase 1 Program ($2.4M)
Drilling (Top 3 targets)$1.44M · 60%
Geophysical surveys$480K · 20%
Scout geochemistry$300K · 12.5%
Data & program management$180K · 7.5%
✓ Xplarion recommendation: Concentrating 60% of Phase 1 spend on Targets A–C reduces capital at risk vs. conventional dispersed drilling approach.

Why Xplarion

A capability no competitor offers.

Backed by the world's top-ranked institutions in mining and in AI, Xplarion brings a cross-continental inference approach to mineral targeting. Our system synthesizes geoscientific knowledge across geological terrains, deposit types, and data sources in a way no single-region or single-discipline platform can match.

Already in use

Three mining companies are actively using Xplarion to prioritize drill targets and allocate exploration budgets. Results validated across multiple geological settings and commodity types.

Institutional backing

Founded at the Colorado School of Mines, the world's #1 ranked institution in mining, and built by an MIT-trained engineering team. Deep domain expertise underpins every model and every output.
