GeoMet provides an AI‑driven geospatial estimator called GAUGE that models mineral deposits as fluid flow systems, capturing the physics of mineralization and weathering. By unifying complex geological parameters into a single backbone, the platform delivers consistent geometallurgical predictions for concentrate quality, recovery, and throughput on a daily blend basis. Customers use GAUGE for ore control and mine planning, achieving up to 38% reduction in monthly mill reconciliation error and identifying 18% more ore volumes for grade‑control drilling.

Problem
Mining operations often rely on fragmented geological models that struggle to maintain geochemical consistency across a deposit, leading to inaccurate ore grade estimates, high mill reconciliation errors, and missed opportunities for ore extraction.
Solution
GeoMet’s GAUGE system redefines deposit modelling by representing mineralization and weathering as interconnected fluid‑flow events, applying AI to capture the underlying physics of geological processes. This unified approach yields geochemically consistent 3‑D models that can be directly linked to geometallurgical parameters. By forecasting daily blend quality, recovery rates, and throughput for the entire mine life, GAUGE enables more precise ore‑control decisions and reduces monthly mill reconciliation error by 38%. The platform also highlights additional ore volumes, improving grade‑control drilling targeting by up to 18% while maintaining the precision of traditional kriging methods.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining companies, exploration geologists, and geometallurgical teams that require high‑precision deposit models for mine planning, ore‑control, and mill performance optimization.
