SensOre Ltd (ASX:S3N) has passed an important milestone having recently completed a major update involving the cleaning and ingestion of valuable geochemical data into its hyperdimensional Data Cube.
The company’s geoscience technology experts cleanse valuable geochemical data collected in Western Australia over the past 60 years using proprietary machine learning tools for automated data cleaning and extraction.
SensOre’s multidimensional Data Cube has now expanded to include a major Western Australia 2021 data update for improved AI-enhanced targeting.
The expanded Data Cube strengthens the AI-enhanced exploration services SensOre offers to its clients and partners.
What’s more, SensOre has also completed phase 1 prospectivity mapping objectives over the central Gawler Craton in South Australia for its client Barton Gold.
“Information economy”
SenOre CTO Alf Eggo said: “Data is the most valuable resource in the information economy. It is the lifeblood of modern artificial intelligence and machine learning.
“No matter what algorithms are applied to develop exploration models and how powerful they are, 'Garbage-in, Garbage-out' or 'Diamonds-in, Diamonds-out' are the inevitable outcomes.
“Getting the right data cleaned and quality controlled is the most important and challenging part of building powerful mineral exploration models and is the reason SensOre invests heavily upfront in data.”
Hyperdimensional Data Cube
The data acquired by SensOre comprises industry drill hole and surface exploration assay (geochemical) data collected and supplied to the GSWA over the last 60 years, representing approximately 7.8 million surface samples and 43 million drill hole assay intervals.
The exploration and mining industry has spent billions of dollars collecting this data, the replacement value of which is estimated to exceed $10 billion.
SensOre is actively applying sophisticated machine learning algorithms to incorporate assay data into its multicommodity mineral exploration models and products (including lithium, nickel, gold and copper) used by SensOre and its clients to improve targeting outcomes and increase the potential for mineral discovery.
The company’s technology team has used this data and applied its proprietary machine learning tools to construct 147 high-resolution geochemical maps for 40 elements at a 250K-scale over WA based on industry surface assay data and a further 138 high-resolution geochemical maps for 38 elements at a 250k-scale based on industry drilling assay data.
The resulting maps (more than 12,500 individual geochemical maps) are a valuable mineral exploration product now being leveraged by SensOre and its clients to enhance exploration outcomes.

Prospectivity mapping at Bartons Gold
SensOre has completed Phase 1 prospectivity mapping objectives over the central Gawler Craton in South Australia, validating existing gold targets located on Barton Gold’s tenements and identifying multiple new gold and copper targets across the 60,000 square kilometre target area.
The company signed a term sheet with Barton Gold to adapt and refine SensOre’s AI and machine learning DPT® technology to a portion of the Gawler Craton in South Australia surrounding Barton’s assets.
The agreement is worth up to $400,000 in co-funding to add data to the company’s SA data cube in the area surrounding Barton Gold’s tenements.
SensOre will also be entitled to additional royalty fees linked to gold ounces produced (or copper equivalent).
