About MineDSS
MineDSS is an AI-powered mineral prospectivity engine covering Australia, the USA and Canada — and expanding worldwide. We rank the ground for 44 commodities — built on millions of high-quality samples and the full public geoscience of every country we cover — so your next drilling program goes where the evidence points. Our AI isn't a black box: every target comes with the reasoning behind it and an honest signal of where the model is confident and where it's only guessing.
Who we serve
Explorers & mining companies
Juniors and mid-tier explorers deciding where to spend a limited drilling budget. We rank your ground and show the evidence, so the next program goes where the data points — not where the last coloured map guessed.
Geologists & exploration managers
You know the geology. What you need is the whole national dataset resolved for your tenement in days — every target backed by host rock, geophysics, geochemistry and alteration you can interrogate, not a heat map you have to take on faith.
Boards, investors & JV partners
Targets you can defend. Every ranked target comes with a plain reasoning chain and an honest read on how much evidence sits behind it — so you can take it to a board or a JV partner without hand-waving.
Consultants & advisors
Add a defensible, evidence-first targeting layer to your own work — run against the full public geoscience of three countries, with the model's confidence flagged target by target.
What makes us different
We show the evidence, not just a colour
Most targeting tools hand you a heat map and leave you to trust it. Every MineDSS target comes with the host rock, geophysics, geochemistry and alteration behind it — laid out so your team can check our work.
We tell you where we're guessing
Every target carries an honest signal of how much real evidence supports it. Where your ground looks like deposits we already know, you see it; where the evidence runs thin, the map says so rather than painting everything green.
Tested the hard way
We hide known deposits, build the model without them, then check whether it finds them anyway. That held-out skill — on ground the model never saw — is reported region by region, never as a flattering pooled average. Ask any vendor for their hidden-deposit numbers; if they won't share them, you have your answer.
Your data stays yours
Anything you send us is used for your job only — never folded into another client's model. And with a Custom ML model, the model we train on your ground is yours to keep.
Who's behind MineDSS
Dr. Ali Ershadi
Founder & CEO
Built MineDSS to bring honesty and explainability to mineral targeting: ranked drill targets you can interrogate, with a straight answer on where the model is confident and where it is only guessing. The same evidence-first, cited-to-the-data approach runs through every QuestFeed decision-support product — turning large, messy datasets into decisions teams can actually defend.
