Space-enabled mineral intelligence

Know what's below, before you break ground.

UnMined fuses satellite spectral imaging, radar, LIDAR and geophysics with AI to map what lies beneath raw land — non-invasively. We turn years of exploration guesswork into ranked, drill-ready targets in under seven days.

The bottleneck

Greenfield exploration burns millions before a single target is confirmed.

Traditional discovery means broad ground surveys, slow geochemical sampling and trenching — expensive, invasive, and low-odds, especially under the Arabian Shield's sand cover. We invert the funnel.

Traditional greenfield exploration

  • Millions spent on broad ground surveys before any confidence
  • Months to years from mobilization to a viable drill target
  • Invasive fieldwork across terrain you haven't validated
  • Low historical success rates against sand-covered geology

The UnMined approach

  • Non-invasive discovery — we find the deposit before anything breaks ground
  • Ranked, drill-ready targets in under seven days
  • Up to 80% lower early-stage discovery cost
  • Sees through dust and cloud with radar the eye and camera can't
How the stack works

Three data physics, fused into one ranked target.

Each sensing method sees something the others can't. Our AI core fuses them — then scores and ranks every target so your team drills the best ground first.

01 · CAPTURE

Multi-source sensing

Satellite multi-spectral and SWIR imagery maps the diagnostic minerals of hydrothermal alteration. Dual-polarization SAR and LIDAR read structure and terrain through dust and cloud. Gravity and magnetics probe the subsurface.

SWIRSARLIDARGRAV/MAG
02 · FUSE

AI multi-physics fusion

Our core ingests every layer and fuses it into a single 3D picture of the subsurface — resolving where alteration halos, structural traps and density anomalies line up into a real deposit.

03 · RANK

Prospectivity scoring

Every candidate is scored and ranked by likelihood, then exported as precise coordinates — drill-ready targets your geologists can validate in the field, non-invasively derived.

Where we're proving it

Calibrated to the Arabian Shield.

Our models are tuned to the arid, sand-covered terrain and VMS copper–zinc systems of the Arabian Shield — modelled against known complexes like Jabal Sayid. It's one of the fastest-growing mineral frontiers on earth, and our first proving ground.

● Status

Working prototype. Selecting first pilot concessions.

The GeoMine Intelligence V2 prototype is built. We're now partnering with licence holders and consortia to run live targeting pilots — and turning early results into paying deployments.

About

We're making the subsurface readable — from orbit.

The ground holds enormous value and enormous uncertainty. UnMined exists to remove the uncertainty before anyone spends millions breaking it open.

Why we're building this

Finding a deposit shouldn't cost millions and years of guesswork.

Traditional greenfield exploration puts capital at risk long before there's confidence — broad surveys, sampling campaigns and trenching, with low odds against terrain like the Arabian Shield's sand cover.

We started UnMined on a conviction: modern satellites, radar, LIDAR and AI can read what's beneath the surface without touching it. Fuse the data physics, infer the deposit, rank the targets — and hand a team drill-ready ground in days, not years. Drilling still happens; now it's a precise final step against a confirmed target, not an expensive gamble.

What we stand for
  • Non-invasive discovery — confidence before the ground is broken
  • Answers in days, not exploration seasons
  • Asset-light software, not capex-heavy fieldwork
  • One fusion core that generalizes far beyond mining
