High-profile global crowdsourcing competition aimed identifying exploration targets with the potential for the next big gold discovery at ICG’s Lamaque property
Participants were given access to six terabytes of historic data collected over 70 years of mining and exploration at the globally significant, high-grade Sigma-Lamaque gold mines (cumulative endowment >11 Moz Au)
Our team generated and prioritised 25 in-mine, geophysical and conceptual exploration targets by compiling and analysing all available (drillhole, mining, geological and geophysical) data in the context of our knowledge of similar gold systems worldwide
Global crowdsourcing competition aimed at stimulating innovative and out-of-box thinking applied to the identification of new exploration targets and geological models capable of yielding a big gold discovery at ENDO’s Karelian Gold Line property
Participants were given access to a large digital database covering the entire Karelian Gold Line (c. 400 km2) that included internal exploration reports, geophysical data, 130,000 till and soil geochemical assays, and data from 2,500 drill holes for a total of 19,100 m
Our team developed a tailor-made targeting model, embarked upon advanced processing and filtering of the geophysical and remote sensing data, and carried out prospectivity modelling, and generated 10 high-priority targets in the context of our knowledge of similar systems worldwide
