mineBAG scores your ground the way a geologist would: it checks seven kinds of evidence for every spot, weighs them up, and gives you a score you can question — plus a clear flag for where it's guessing.
mineBAG compares every spot on your ground against the most similar places we already know about — within the same rock type. If a spot looks like ground that hosts deposits, it scores high. If it looks like nothing we've seen, mineBAG says so instead of inventing a number. Nothing is hidden: you see exactly which evidence pushed each target up or down.
Each kind of evidence votes for or against, on its own. We combine them into one score — and show you how each one voted.
rock type and age
buried structures and intrusions
potassium, thorium, uranium
elevation, slope, aspect
radar (Sentinel-1)
mineral signatures from satellite
the elements that point to your commodity
Seven votes, added up into a single score — with every vote on show.
And when there's no evidence to go on, mineBAG says so — it won't make up a number.
When a target scores high, your team can see why: the right host rock, a buried intrusion on the magnetics, a clear arsenic-and-silver anomaly. It's all laid out — so you can agree with it, or push back, and take it to your board either way.
What moves a gold target — Lachlan Fold Belt (example)
The signals that push a gold target up the list. We tune these for each region and rock type.
Strong, consistent evidence across rock type, magnetics and chemistry. Worth following up.
Every target comes with a plain flag — how much real evidence is behind it. It's the part no other tool gives you.
We've seen ground like this before. Trust the score.
Not much to go on here. Treat the score as a maybe.
We've never seen ground like this — so we tell you straight, instead of inventing a number.
We tested mineBAG on known deposits it had never seen (0.5 is a coin toss, 1.0 is perfect). South Australia is proven for all six commodities.

An empty cell isn't missing coverage — it's ground we haven't proven yet, so we won't quote a number. What works for one rock type and region won't always work for another, and we'd rather tell you than guess. NSW is where we hold the most data (proven across all six) — ask us for the regional numbers.
Got plenty of your own samples and want the highest accuracy? A custom ML model may suit your ground better. We'll tell you which.
Let's run mineBAG on a pilot area so you can judge the output, not the pitch.
