Unlocking the potential of AI in resource assessment

Speaker:  Dr Nurassyl Battalgazy, Geoscience Data Analyst, IMDEX

Abstract:  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries across the globe and resource estimation is no exception. This seminar will explore how AI can be applied in grade control resource estimation and brownfield exploration. The focus will be about the challenges and opportunities AI presents in these areas and increase understanding of the practical and innovative uses of AI within these critical areas of mining.
