China launches two smart systems for geological mapping and mineral exploration with accuracy reaching 90%.

China has unveiled a significant advancement in the field of geology and mining by launching two new systems that utilize artificial intelligence for geological mapping and mineral exploration. This initiative aims to move beyond traditional fieldwork and transition to data-driven predictions using high-precision algorithms.

New Systems Transform the Industry

The Chinese Geological Survey announced the introduction of two systems during the Mining Conference and Exhibition in Tianjin:

• AI-GeoMapping
• AI-OreSeeking

These integrated intelligent systems cover all stages of geological work, from data analysis to identifying promising areas for exploration.

Advanced Technical Capabilities

• The accuracy of geological feature identification reaches 90%.
• Data processing efficiency doubles compared to traditional methods.
• The systems integrate satellite imagery, aerial geophysical surveys, and field observations.

Solutions for Persistent Field Challenges

The system addresses issues that have long plagued geologists, such as:

• Rugged terrain and difficult accessibility.
• Limited rock exposure in swamps and deserts.
• Complexities in identifying geological units across vast areas.

Expert Statement from China

Official Li Fengdan emphasized that geological mapping is the “most essential and critical requirement” for discovering indicators of mineral presence, noting that the system has developed over a decade of work to become a comprehensive intelligent platform.
