MineSpot Project

Technology and precision to explore with confidence.

MineSpot is a project co-financed by the European Union through the COMPETE 2030 Program, with reference COMPETE2030-FEDER-02302900, and reflects Spotmine's commitment to technological innovation and sustainability in mining.

Main advantages
of MineSpot

01. Innovation Technology

It integrates satellite (L-SAR) and drone data with artificial intelligence and deep geophysics (DGPR), enabling new approaches in the mining sector.

02. AI-powered predictive maps

It integrates and analyzes multiple data sources (hyperspectral and multispectral satellite, L-band SAR, LiDAR, geophysics and geochemistry), identifying 21 spatial patterns that allow for more accurate estimation of prospecting target zones.

03. Time savings of up to 30%

Remote sensing allows for rapid coverage of large areas, while AI-generated predictive maps, which integrate data from multiple sources, refine targets and significantly accelerate the initial stages of exploration.

04. Greater Accuracy

The integration of multiple datasets increases reliability in identifying mineral targets, minimizing effort in areas with low potential. This optimizes drilling and cost management. It enables more accurate drilling with a lower failure rate, thanks to 3D models built with cartographic and geophysical data that guide in-depth exploration.

05. Support for the energy transition

It facilitates secure access to critical raw materials essential to the energy transition, particularly for batteries and clean technologies.

06. Supply
critical sustainable

It integrates and analyzes multiple data sources (hyperspectral and multispectral satellite, L-band SAR, LiDAR, geophysics and geochemistry), identifying 21 spatial patterns that allow for more accurate estimation of prospecting target zones.

Applied Technology

MineSpot aims to optimize the prospecting of critical raw materials, with a focus on Li, by integrating advanced remote sensing (e.g., L-SAR) with AI libraries in Python to create 2D predictive maps and use in-situ geophysics (DGPR) to generate 3D models of ore bodies at depth, and guide future drilling.

Benefits

Reduction of operating costs
By integrating advanced remote sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, and high-resolution geophysics, MineSpot optimizes the initial stages of exploration. This means fewer unnecessary field trips, fewer exploratory drillings, and more efficient use of human and technical resources, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs.

Benefits

Greater accuracy in identifying deposits
The combination of satellite data, predictive algorithms, and precision geophysical surveys increases the reliability of results. This approach allows us to identify areas with the greatest mineral potential and characterize deposits with higher detail, reducing the risk associated with investment decisions.
