How is AI changing Mineral Resource estimation?

About this event

The session will consider the strengths and limitations of current commercial AI solutions, the questions practitioners should ask vendors, and the potential implications of agentic interaction between AI and modelling software. It will also explore what workflows that record their own decisions could mean for documentation, auditability and peer review. Attendees will gain a clearer view of where AI may support Mineral Resource estimation today and the areas that require continued professional scrutiny.
