PDAC 2025: Mineral Forecast Highlights the Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Mining
Chile
Yesterday was a key day in Canada to address the topic of new technologies and their contribution to the growth and sustainability of the sector.
Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the mining industry, and PDAC 2025 has become a key epicenter for leading that conversation. In a context where accelerating mineral discovery is critical to meeting growing global demand, technology companies like Mineral Forecast are playing a fundamental role in the adoption of advanced technologies to transform mineral exploration.
During the panel “Reimagining Mining Exploration,” industry experts highlighted the need to combine human intelligence with artificial intelligence to optimize mineral resource discovery processes. It was emphasized that shortening exploration lead times is essential to meeting market demand and ensuring sustainable supply.
Mineral Forecast, one of the Chilean companies present at the event, demonstrated how AI-based tools can significantly accelerate the identification of mineral deposits. “The key lies in developing accessible technological solutions and fostering the interaction between artificial intelligence and the observations of geologists on the ground,” explains Javier Muñoz, CEO of Mineral Forecast.
According to the panel, a clear example of this approach and the efforts being made in the industry is the emergence of more intuitive technological tools that complement the knowledge of geological experts. “The integration of AI in mining not only optimizes exploration but also reduces costs and time, allowing us to move forward more efficiently and sustainably,” says Muñoz. “The challenge now is to ensure that these technologies are widely and effectively adopted in the industry.”
According to the CEO of Mineral Forecast, based on everything seen and heard during this day at PDAC 2025, it is clear that the future of mining will depend on companies’ ability to innovate and adopt digital tools that enable the development of more agile and sustainable mining.
