Explorer Challenge To Predict Next Big Mineral Deposit in South Australia
The Mining.com website reported that energy and resources open innovation platform Unearthed joined forces with Adelaide-based OZ Minerals to launch the Explorer Challenge, a competition that brings together data scientists, geoscientists and mining professionals to create machine learning-based mining solutions. “We’ve taken an approach from outside our industry and applied it to the Challenge. This gives us potential access to thousands of scientists’ ideas and data, compared to our relatively small team of in-house geologists–a different and diverse perspective to interpret our exploration data,” OZ Minerals’ CEO, Andrew Cole, said. The competition represents a fundamental change in approach to problem-solving as it will speed up the exploration life cycle and allow miners to analyze information at a much faster rate than before.
