Bringing AI and Machine Learning to the Resource Sector

Overview

Goldspot Discoveries Inc. (TSXV:SPOT) is a technology company that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to reduce capital risk and increase success in the resource and investment sectors. The company partners with, invests in and obtains royalties from resource and junior exploration companies to help them analyze and interpret data collected through exploration so they can make a discovery.

The company has developed two AI-based platforms to help resource companies identify where deposits are. GoldSpot’s technical services platform takes multiple layers of data and standardizes, transforms and stitches it together to optimize it for machine learning. From there, the data is run through several algorithms that predict where zones of mineralization occur.

The platform was initially developed for gold exploration, but can be used with almost any type of mineralization, including copper or lithium. GoldSpot has partnered with and provides services to premiere resource companies such as Yamana Gold (TSX:YRI), Sprott Mining Inc., McEwen Mining (TSX:MUX), Hochschild Mining plc (LSE:HOC), Vale Canada Limited and Manitou Gold Inc. (TSXV:MTU).

GoldSpot is also developing a second platform that is expected to help the company and investors choose successful resource projects across the globe. Resource Quantamental (RQ) helps the company identify the best projects and teams to work with by collecting together a number of data points that are indicative of future success.

GoldSpot employs 30 people with experience in a variety of areas including chemistry, data analytics, finance and many others. Notable members on GoldSpot’s board of directors include Chairman Frank Holmes who is the Chief Investment Officer for US Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ:GROW) and has managed over $1 billion in investments. Director Ramon Barua is currently the CFO of Hochschild Mining and Director Donovan Pollitt has over 15 years of resource industry experience. He provides consultation services and operations analysis to buy-side, royalty and private equity clients.
