Earth AI confirms six new tungsten, cobalt, and gold mineral prospects

Global Mining Review,
The prospects include tin, tungsten, molybdenum, and silver mineralisation at the Kooranjie Project, as well as cobalt, copper, and gold prospects at the Elkedra Project. These discoveries affirm Earth AI's ability to identify and locate various commodity mineralisation across a wide range of geological formations throughout the continent, a unique ability in the mineral exploration industry.

Kooranjie, located 500 km northwest of Sydney, is located within the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. The discovery, made using AI targets generated from Earth AI's proprietary AI software, covering a total area of approximately 512 km2. The first pass surface exploration discovered high grade samples with laboratory results confirming concentrations of up to 0.26% tungsten, 23.6 ppm silver, 0.052% molybdenum, and 0.044% tin. Additionally, enriched samples contain topaz, fluorite, and elevated concentrations of lithium within the broader mineralised system at Kooranjie, which provides a deeper understanding of the overall mineralisation processes in the area.
Earth AI will conduct further reconnaissance using its AI software and best practice field geoscience at Kooranjie to determine the footprint of the polymetallic targets to develop a hypothesis of appropriate geologic models to develop a preliminary drilling programme, which is planned to commence in May 2025. The project sits within the Cobar Basin, an area known to have tin mineralisation, collectively known as the Wagga Tin Belt. Furthermore, to the east of the tenement lies the Gilmore Fault Zone (GFZ) which includes several proven Cobar-style Cu-Au-Ag mineral deposits. The presence of high concentrations of these metals suggests a complex ore deposit system, potentially involving multiple overlapping events.
In addition to the confirmations at Kooranjie, Earth AI used its AI software to confirm three new prospects with up to 0.39% cobalt, 1.39% copper, and 0.685 g/t gold at the Elkedra Project. Elkedra is located approximately 240 km SW from Tennent Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia and comprises an area of approximately 400 km2. The company's three exploration licenses in this area, and the exploration project, were initiated following a territory-wide assessment of mineral deposit predictions made by Earth AI's AI system. The project sits within the Davenport Provence of the Tennent Region and comprises a series of folded metaclastics, mafic and felsic volcanics, and granitic units from the Paleoproterozoic overlain by Cambrian Georgina Basin sediments. These units hold potential for Tennent Creek-style deposits and sediment-hosted copper mineralisation. Earth AI will map the extent of mineralisation and develop a geologic model controlling the deposit. At the conclusion of future field studies, the company will design a drill campaign to test its deposit model.
Roman Teslyuk, founder and CEO of Earth AI, said:
"We are not just exploring for critical minerals; we are rewriting the rules of discovery. For the first time in the industry, we are able to rapidly generate mineralised prospects in low-data environments with astonishing precision. By harnessing the power of AI to analyse existing data in ways never before imagined, we are unlocking hidden potential in overlooked terrains. We are not bound by traditional methods or limited to familiar territories. We are pushing the boundaries of accuracy, slashing exploration timelines, and delivering results with unprecedented speed. Our high-grade tungsten and cobalt discoveries are not just wins for Earth AI; this is a testament to the transformative power of AI in securing the critical minerals needed for a sustainable future. We are not just a player in the critical minerals space; we're a catalyst for change, driving the energy transition with every AI-powered drill strike."
