Case Study: one of the world’s largest gold mining companies cuts mineral exploration lead time from six months to six days with Descartes Labs

Identifying mineral targets faster with a geoprocessing platform

a largest gold mining company sought to reduce the lengthy lead time in its mineral exploration process to find deposits more efficiently. They engaged Descartes Labs, utilizing their platform, the AME, and custom engineering services to address this challenge.

Descartes Labs implemented a solution that involved ingesting and transforming disparate vector, imagery, and raster data into a unified geoprocessing platform. This created custom analytics interfaces for geologists, enabling them to perform complex analyses in a single environment. As a result, Descartes Labs helped the company dramatically reduce its mineral exploration lead time from approximately six months down to just six days.
