SensOre targets global data potential with Unico agreement SensOre has sealed an agreement with Unico , now part of global IT and business consulting firm CGI , to collaborate on the commercialisation of SensOre ’ s mining exploration technology platform .
The project represents an opportunity to expand SensOre ’ s current client services to a cloud-based SaaS ( software as a service ) product . This contract is an important step in SensOre ’ s technology development roadmap .
SensOre ’ s existing proprietary AI-enhanced technology is designed to advance the way companies integrate , interrogate and analyse geoscience data and increase the potential for mineral discovery .
It is envisaged that development and deployment of the proprietary platform will open the door to scale the company ’ s products and expand SensOre ’ s capacity to service mineral exploration companies in Australia and overseas , while reducing the Company ’ s unit cost per engagement .
SensOre CEO Richard Taylor says its background is creating and deploying technology and software that generate exploration targets using AI .
“ While we have previously focused on Western Australia , a key objective of the Unico partnership is to enhance the pace of our data expansion across the globe ,” he says .
Unico ’ s Director of Innovation Evan Harridge says SensOre ’ s AI-driven analysis tools will be able to see what is underground in great detail , similar to how medical imaging technology can accurately see inside the human body . “ This technology would enable exploration to be more targeted and limit the overall environmental impact ,” he says . miningdigital . com 43
