Predicting Mineralogy and Geometallurgical Domains with ML
Predict geometallurgical domains by training gradient-boosted models on QEMSCAN, MLA or TIMA data, then carrying predictions into a Leapfrog block model.

UCS prediction with ML: train XGBoost or Random Forest on paired point load index and UCS lab results, then estimate rock strength wherever you have PLT.
Geometallurgical proxy models predict an expensive assay from a cheap measurement. Build one with Cancha for a turnkey path, or scikit-learn and XGBoost.
Automate geochemical QA/QC with ALS QCPro or ioGAS to track standards, blanks and duplicates, and let anomaly flagging catch lab drift sooner.
AI geological logging turns core photos into a first-pass lithology and structure log in hours. Datarock Core does it, and geologists review the draft.
Real-time geometallurgy with AI: pipe ore proxies such as hardness and liberation into a closed-loop platform like Imubit or ABB Ability to adapt the plant.
Shovel grade sensing with MineSense ShovelSense: XRF sensors on the bucket feed ML grade models that route each truck by measured ore grade in real time.
Recovery and hardness prediction with ML: train XGBoost, LightGBM or Random Forest on mineralogy, geochemistry and geomet testwork, or use Cancha.
Hydrological model calibration with PEST++: fit MODFLOW 6 or FEFLOW to monitoring data, while ML surrogates and ensemble methods emerge to speed it up.
Speed up geological domaining with clustering (K-means or GMM in scikit-learn) on assay and logging data, then validate the new domains in GeostatsPy.
