Problem the AI is intended to solve
Identify patterns in the data, isolate those that correlate with known mineral deposits, and integrate these with other geospatial layers to generate a predictive map for guiding future mineral exploration.
Expected benefits
Assessment of the domestic availability of critical minerals. Insight into the U.S. critical mineral supply landscape. Evaluation of national critical mineral supply chains. Analysis of domestic sources and supply of critical minerals.
