In this presentation at the 4th Annual Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) Conference and Innovative Showcase, managed by the Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) in 2025, 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.
