Goldcorp (TSX:G, NYSE:GG) and IBM Canada (NYSE:IBM) just launched IBM Exploration with Watson, a new technology that applies artificial intelligence to predict the potential for gold mineralization and is also capable of using search and query capabilities across a range of exploration datasets.
“The potential to radically accelerate exploration target identification combined with significantly improved hit rates on economic mineralization has the potential to drive a step-change in the pace of value growth in the industry,” said Todd White, Goldcorp’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, in a media brief.
