Mineral prospectivity mapper

An open-source prototype for exploring statistical mineral prospectivity in Western Australia, with provenance and uncertainty in view.

System outline
  1. 01Geological evidence
  2. 02Spatial modelling
  3. 03Uncertainty & provenance

The idea

This project brings public geological evidence into a statistical workflow for investigating mineral prospectivity in Western Australia. The core library can be used from an application, command line or notebook.

The approach

The workflow places provenance, uncertainty and validation alongside the resulting maps. Its outputs describe statistical spatial associations and require qualified geological interpretation and ground-truthing; the project is a decision-support prototype.

  • Weights of Evidence and alternative spatial methods
  • Uncertainty and deposit-withholding validation
  • Command-line workflows, QGIS integration and provenance exports
