Artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) have emerged in the last few years from relative obscurity in the mineral exploration sector and they now attract significant attention from people in both industry and academia. However, due to the novelty of AI and ML applications, their practical use and potential remain enigmatic to many beyond a relatively few expert practitioners. We introduce this subject for the nonexpert and review some of the current applications and evolving uses. For the most traditionally minded geologist, we argue that ML can be an invaluable new tool, contributing to topics that range from explorat...

The addition of such data can contribute to a better understanding of the geological sector of interest. By carefully applying basic principles, explorers can maximize their chances for success: 1) Seek a rigorous understanding of the physical properties of the rocks under investigation 2) Associate geophysical data with geological data and expertise to better constrain the geological model 3) Use creativity to interpret new data and/or re-interpret historical data in order to provide new insights about the geological processes being studied.
