KoBold turns exploration
into a repeatable science

KoBold prediction cycle

KoBold tech is a system of innovations that work together to revolutionize discovery.

Hyperpod™ Aerial Surveying and Mapping — New Sensors Collect Better Data

Our team built and deploys the Hyperpod airborne sensing platform around the world — enabling airborne remote sensing for mineral exploration projects. The Hyperpod platform uses digital cameras, imaging spectrometers, and LIDAR to conduct airborne surveys with higher resolution than commercial satellites, while turning around processed data 10X faster than the industry. We use the resulting datasets to create maps, models, and analyses that help identify and evaluate prospective mineral resources.

A System That Organizes the World’s Geoscience Data

Our TerraShed® platform converts, organizes, and stores everything we know about the Earth’s crust from many disparate data sources and data types — reports, legacy maps, handwritten notes, geophysical and geochemical data — into one standardized, searchable database, across any language.

Predictive Models Inform Better Decisions

Our Machine Prospector® predictive models are continually refined from new field observations. From resource definition (e.g., grade, thickness) to geological (e.g., rock type, lithology) to physical properties (e.g., conductivity, magnetic susceptibility), Machine Prospector model predictions include quantified uncertainty so we can make rigorous exploration and development decisions.

 

As a discovery advances toward development, our KoBoMine™ software converts the many possible realizations of the geological block model into complete mine designs, including shaft locations, development layouts, and production schedules. Accounting for uncertainty in inputs from costs to ground conditions, it simulates and optimizes thousands of design and schedule scenarios. Results are stored in a system that integrates with AI agents, so engineers can run controlled experiments comparing designs, ask questions in plain language, and plan the economic, safe, and sustainable mines of the future.
