GeoMetals.AI is a data visualization and educational dashboard. Geological data is compiled from publicly available sources including academic journals, government geological surveys, and open datasets. Deposit predictions, TinyML outputs and pattern matching results are model outputs, not measurements, and are not independently verified. There is no social intelligence feed. Part of the map is a synthetic prospectivity illustration - see section 5.
2. NO LIABILITY FOR DRILLING EXPEDITIONS
This platform does NOT constitute geological advice, mining feasibility assessment, or investment recommendation. GeoMetals.AI accepts NO responsibility or liability for failed drilling expeditions, exploration losses, or investment decisions made based on data displayed on this dashboard. All deposit predictions are AI-generated estimates with stated confidence intervals and should be independently verified by qualified geologists before any field work.
3. DATA ACCURACY
The internal consistency checks and sanity agent only validate the page's own data against bounds and ranges; they are not an accuracy audit. AI-predicted deposits carry inherent uncertainty. Verified deposits (JORC 2012, NI 43-101, CGS) are marked separately from AI predictions. Users should always cross-reference with official geological survey data.
4. METEORITE ORIGIN ANALYSIS
Cosmic origin classifications (primordial vs meteorite) are based on peer-reviewed geochemistry literature. These are scientific interpretations subject to ongoing debate in the geological community.
5. SYNTHETIC MAP LAYER
Most points on the map are a SYNTHETIC PROSPECTIVITY ILLUSTRATION: exploration targets generated around known mineral districts, drawn as dashed grey markers and named "[SYNTHETIC TARGET]". Their coordinates, tonnage and grade are randomised for illustration, they are NOT observed deposits, they carry no verification tier or confidence score, and they are excluded from the OBSERVED DEPOSITS, VERIFIED and AI PREDICTED figures in the header. The former simulated social-signal feed has been removed entirely.

SYNTHETIC PROSPECTIVITY ILLUSTRATION - dashed grey points are generated exploration targets, not observed deposits. The mineral counts above exclude them.
Unbuilt concept. DHL appears only as an illustrative courier — there is no DHL partnership, endorsement or involvement of any kind.
A DHL-dispatched box arrives at the survey site containing the Hummingbird autonomous drone system. Upon activation, the drone deploys for aerial geological survey, then plants 6 permanent sensors for decade-long data collection via LoRa mesh network.
DEPLOYMENT FLOW
1. DHL DISPATCH
Hummingbird drone box shipped to nearest logistics hub. GPS-tracked, climate-controlled container. Est. 48-72hr delivery.
↓
2. UNBOX + ACTIVATE
Local agent opens box, drone auto-calibrates GPS/IMU. Pre-loaded flight plan covers 25km² survey grid at 120m altitude.
↓
3. AERIAL SURVEY
Multispectral + LiDAR + magnetometer flyover. Illustrative survey step - no flight has been flown and no data captured.
↓
4. SENSOR DEPLOYMENT
Drone lands at 6 optimal points determined by aerial survey. Plants soil chemistry sensors 30cm deep at each location.
↓
5. LORA MESH ACTIVATION
6 sensors form LoRa mesh network (MeshCore protocol). Data relays hop sensor-to-sensor, reaching gateway node with satellite uplink.
↓
6. DECADE-LONG MONITORING
Solar-powered sensors transmit soil chemistry, moisture, pH, conductivity, and REE proxy readings every 6 hours for 10+ years.
Base rate: $340/day | Remoteness surcharge: varies | Includes: drone + 6 sensors + LoRa gateway + sat uplink

Three sub-surface scanning techniques pitched as drone-borne payloads for the GeoMetals Hummingbird and the THAQIB Tier II Nazgul XL10 (oil + REE addon). Honest framing: only AMT is peer-reviewed; ADR + AMRT are vendor-marketed; none are drone-deployed today.
ADR - ATOMIC DIELECTRIC RESONANCE
Adrok (Edinburgh, UK) · pulsed wide-band EM 1-100 MHz · vendor depth claim ~1.1 km · oil/water/REE/critical-minerals via dielectric permittivity + spectral signature
Honest fine print: currently truck/ground-deployed; drone-borne ADR does not exist as a shippable product. Vendor publishes white-papers + ASEG/PESA conference abstracts; not peer-reviewed in mainstream geophysics. Hyperlog pitch is a partnership-RFI to Adrok, not an off-shelf payload.
Honest fine print: satellite, not drone. Methodology not published in peer-reviewed literature. We use AMRT as a wide-area data-product overlay on drone-survey grids - not as an on-board payload.
AMT - AUDIO-FREQUENCY MAGNETOTELLURICS (peer-reviewed sister)
Phoenix Geophysics · Zonge International · IRIS Instruments · 1 Hz to 10 kHz natural-source EM · imaging to several km depth · critical-mineral systems (SEG 2024 broadband AMT paper)
Real, peer-reviewed: drone-AMT is research frontier - coil-loop weight + EMI shielding constraints. Cited here as the credibility anchor next to ADR/AMRT.
