In this presentation, Grant Sanden, CEO of GeologicAI explores the critical mineral supply crisis and how high-resolution decision engineering can optimize global mining outcomes. Addressing a projected deficit in metals like copper—driven by skyrocketing demand for data centers and AI—Grant advocates for a 10-fold increase in industry innovation to convert resources into mines faster. GeologicAI bridges the gap between physical core samples and machine learning by scanning a million meters of core annually to provide “geological truth” through sophisticated simulations and uncertainty modeling. The technology is already delivering measurable results, such as a 5% CO2 reduction in iron ore blast furnaces through better blending and a 20% production increase in heap leach operations via high-resolution analytics. From robotic scanning trailers in the field to real-time automated modeling platforms, GeologicAI is transforming expert workflows to ensure a sustainable and efficient future for the global mineral supply chain.
