Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Industry and Construction, the National Geological Service JSC and Core Element AI, Inc. have signed a memorandum of understanding to carry out pilot projects using artificial intelligence in geological exploration. The work will convert archival geological information into machine-readable data and produce maps of prospective areas for further exploration.
CoreElement AI is a technology company founded by Kazakhstani entrepreneurs and operating in the United States. It has developed an AI platform that processes archival reports, analyzes geophysical and geochemical data, and creates maps of areas with exploration potential.
The company says its model for analyzing geological data was trained using, among other materials, airborne geophysical survey data from areas around deposits in the United States, Australia and Canada. It compares research results and identifies sites for geologists to examine first.
