The global model

Draw ground anywhere on Earth and get a first-pass read on it — built from the same trained evidence as our national models, and straight with you about where it is strongest.

Most of the world has never been systematically assessed for prospectivity. The national geochemical survey programs that make a certified model possible exist in a handful of countries; everywhere else, an explorer opening a new jurisdiction starts close to blank. The global model is built for exactly that moment. It reads your ground from evidence available everywhere on Earth, scored by models trained on the deposits and survey chemistry of three of the best-mapped mineral provinces in the world — so you can shortlist ground worth a field team before anyone flies.

What it reads

The global model is trained on up to 1.5 million geochemical field samples per mineral from the national survey programs of Australia, the United States and Canada — the same foundation behind our certified models. It applies that training through evidence that exists everywhere on Earth: satellite spectral response, radar, terrain, and mapped rock families. That combination is what lets a model learned in the Yilgarn or the Basin and Range say something useful about ground it has never seen.

Trained on real deposits

Learned from the survey chemistry and known deposits of three of the most thoroughly mapped mineral provinces on Earth — not from theory, and not from a global average.

Evidence available everywhere

Satellite spectral and radar response, terrain, and mapped rock families — consistent worldwide, so the same reading applies in Mauritania as in Mongolia.

Rock-family aware

Your ground is read against the rock families it actually belongs to, so a granite is compared with granites rather than with whatever happened to be nearby.

What a run returns

A global run returns a full prospectivity map of your area and the context to act on it — read together, they tell you which ground deserves the next field visit.

A prospectivity map

Every readable cell in your area scored for the minerals you chose, so the strongest ground stands out at a glance.

A confidence layer

Cell by cell, how closely your ground matches the terrain the model was trained on — the difference between a lead worth chasing and one worth sampling first.

Rock-family context

The geology under the signal, so you can see which units are driving the strong ground.

A valid-domain mask

Exactly how much of your area could be read at all — stated up front, before you pay.

How it differs from a certified national model

In Australia, the United States and Canada we hold dense national geochemistry, so a model can be tested the hard way — hide the known deposits, rebuild without them, and check whether it still finds them. That earned test is what lets those models rank drilling targets. Outside those countries that test ground does not exist, so a global run gives you the prospectivity map, the geology behind it and the confidence to read it — and leaves the drill-target ranking to the countries where that test was earned. It is the difference between “this ground is worth a closer look” and “drill here”, and knowing which one you are holding is what makes either useful.

Where it is strongest — and where it stays quiet

Strongest on exposed ground

The model reads the surface. Bare and sparsely vegetated terrain — the arid and semi-arid belts where much of the world's frontier exploration happens — is where it reads best.

Silent under cover

Densely vegetated and water-covered ground sits outside the model's valid domain. We exclude it rather than guess at it, and we tell you what share of your area that is before you pay.

Honest about unfamiliar terrain

Where your geology looks unlike anything in the training regions, the confidence layer says so cell by cell instead of painting the map green.

Not every mineral, everywhere

A mineral is offered globally only where the model earned it. Where it did not, the product refuses it rather than serving a number we do not stand behind.

It gets sharper on your ground

The global model is a starting point, not a ceiling. Where you already hold geochemistry — historic assays, soil surveys, drill data — we can fold it in and calibrate to your region, which is how a global read becomes certified-grade modelling for your ground. Every project strengthens with local samples, and we will tell you honestly if yours will not move the needle.

Common questions

How is this different from the models you run in Australia, the USA and Canada?

Those three countries have dense public geochemical surveys, so a model can be validated on known deposits it never saw in training — and that earned test is what lets it rank drilling targets. Outside those countries that validation ground does not exist, so a global run gives you the prospectivity map, the geology driving it and a confidence read on every cell — everything except the drill-target ranking, which we publish only where it was earned.

Can I trust a model trained in Australia on ground in Africa or Central Asia?

Within its stated purpose, yes — mineral systems leave comparable surface footprints in comparable rocks, which is why the model reads your ground against the rock families it belongs to. But you should not take it on faith: every map carries a confidence layer showing, cell by cell, how closely your terrain matches what the model was trained on. Where that match is weak, treat the result as a prompt to sample rather than a conclusion.

Which minerals can I run outside the three certified countries?

Most of the catalogue, but not all of it. A mineral is offered globally only where it cleared our release gates; where it did not, the product declines to run it rather than returning a number we do not stand behind. The coverage table on the home page shows exactly which minerals are available where.

What happens to jungle, farmland or water in my area?

They are excluded. The model reads exposed ground, so densely vegetated and water-covered terrain falls outside its valid domain and is masked out rather than guessed at. Before you pay, the app shows what share of your area can actually be read — so a heavily vegetated block never comes as a surprise after the fact.

What does it cost, and in what currency?

The same per-area pricing as anywhere else — you pay for the ground you scan, with the price shown before you pay and a 25 km² minimum billed area. Runs outside Australia, the United States and Canada are priced in US dollars.

Can it become a certified model for my region?

That is exactly the path. Where you hold local geochemistry we can incorporate it and calibrate the model to your ground, which is how a global read becomes certified-grade modelling. Talk to us about what data you have and we will tell you honestly what it would buy you.
