Project Background
A gold mining enterprise in Shandong faced the imminent expiry of its exploration license, and prior survey work could not provide enough information to judge the rights' value. The owner faced a difficult decision: invest heavily to renew, or abandon the rights? A wrong decision meant huge financial losses.
Technical Approach
The Deep-Explor® team applied satellite remote AI detection technology and, over 2 months of work, conducted a comprehensive assessment of the exploration-rights area.
Detection Results
The following anomaly targets were identified:
- 2 gold anomaly targets
- 1 copper anomaly target
Key Judgment
Based on in-depth analysis of the collected data, the following conclusions were drawn:
- Suboptimal resource reserves
- Burial depth reaching ~700 m
- Overall assessment: low economic mining value
Client Value
| Scenario | Potential Loss |
|---|---|
| Blind renewal | License renewal fees + subsequent exploration spending (tens of millions of yuan) |
| Data-driven decision | Timely loss-cutting, reallocating funds to more promising projects |
This case demonstrates an important principle: reaching a "not worth investing" conclusion creates equally great value for the client. Deep-Explor® is not only a "prospecting" tool, but also an "investment-decision support" tool.
