About DepoDart
DepoDart turns fragmented geoscientific data into actionable guidance for mineral exploration. We are a team of geologists, data scientists, and software engineers building this work together.
About the team
We are a self-funded team building this model close to the work itself, alongside geologists, data scientists, and software engineers.
The model was designed by geologists for geologists, working side by side with data scientists and software engineers. We are confident in the results we deliver, and we are open to collaborating with teams of any size, from junior explorers to majors.
What DepoDart does
DepoDart is an AI-powered geoscience platform built for the future of mineral exploration. We combine machine learning with decades of geological, geophysical, geochemical, and structural data to help exploration teams identify high-probability drill targets faster, more accurately, and at significantly lower cost.
Our platform processes large volumes of mineral exploration data and identifies interaction patterns associated with mineralization across many datasets at the same time. Rather than comparing a handful of layers manually, DepoDart evaluates millions of relationships and surfaces the locations where geological indicators converge with the highest probability of economic significance.
Mission and vision
Mission
Our mission is to help exploration companies reduce uncertainty by unlocking the full intelligence hidden inside their geoscientific data. The world is entering a decade of unprecedented demand for critical minerals, and the industry needs computational tools that match the scale of the data already available to it.
Vision
We believe the future of mineral discovery will belong to companies that combine geological expertise with advanced computational analysis. Our vision is to make data-driven decision-making the standard for mineral exploration, so that every drill program starts from the most complete picture the available data can offer.
Why work with us
DepoDart is designed to work alongside geoscientists, not instead of them. AI excels at identifying statistical relationships across enormous datasets. Geologists excel at understanding geological context, structural controls, and the real-world implications behind those relationships. The strongest exploration programs will combine both.
In an industry where a single drill campaign can cost millions of dollars, even modest improvements in targeting accuracy create enormous financial value. AI-driven targeting helps you prioritize the highest-probability areas first, compress timelines between data acquisition and decision-making, and improve capital allocation across your portfolio.
Many critical mineral systems are geologically subtle, structurally complex, or concealed beneath cover, and they often do not fit the simplified templates used in traditional targeting workflows. Machine learning is particularly well suited to identifying multi-layered patterns that may not be visually obvious to human interpreters, and that is the work DepoDart was built to do.
Where we work
We work today across Canada, Australia, and the United States, and we are continuing to expand our coverage.
Our two main solutions focus on improving the mineral exploration chain in close collaboration with you. They are powered by machine learning and advanced modelling, and can leverage magnetism, gravity, lithology, spectrometry, electromagnetism, satellite data, and geochemical analyses of rock, sediment, and soil samples. We process text, images, vectors, and time series data, and our algorithms adapt to whatever information is available.
The platform is built around a large model trained on global geoscientific datasets, which can then be fine-tuned with the local data from your area of interest. This adapts predictions to the specific geology you work in, and lets new variables be added quickly when your inputs evolve.
How we work
