the most interesting part of some mining stories isn't the geology anymore

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think exploration is becoming more of a data business. Geology will always matter. Drilling will always matter. But before either of those happen, companies are making decisions based on enormous amounts of information. Historical reports. Geochemistry. Geophysics. Regional mapping. Past production records. Claim data. That's why I find the use of AI in exploration increasingly interesting. NovaRed recently reported that its MetalCore platform has expanded to more than 2.7 million records, including mineral occurrences, geochemical samples, mining claims, and property datasets. Will AI discover deposits on its own? Probably not. But if it can help companies prioritize targets and avoid wasting exploration dollars, that could become a significant advantage. I'm curious how investors view this. Do you think AI becomes standard practice in mineral exploration over the next decade, or is the market getting ahead of itself?
