41m at 2.01g/t Au from Floor at Murchison South Gold Undertaking

SensOre consultants have utilized synthetic intelligence (AI), machine studying (ML) and different processing strategies utilizing each public and proprietary datasets over the Music Nicely Undertaking.

• Innovative AI/ML algorithms concentrating on areas with minimal outcrop or underneath cowl.
• Integration of geological, geochemical and geophysical knowledge units into the AI course of to outline digital mineralisation fingerprints and generate AI-enhanced gold discovery predictions.
• The AI SensOre research concluded that “Software of ML algorithms have been discovered to mannequin +1m oz Au potential with a excessive diploma of predictability, and a complete of 18 targets have been recognized inside the Music Nicely challenge”:
  • Goal 1 has the highest precedence and is within the central north of the challenge with a strike size of 8km.
  • Goal 1 tendencies NNW parallel to the final geological material in addition to being intersected by a number of WNW trending cross constructions.
  • Goal 2 is positioned 4km east of the Surprise Deeps mine of Northern Star and is adjoining to a parallel WNW trending construction internet hosting Vault Minerals Nice Western mine.
  • Goal 2 is 1.4km in strike and 800m vast.
  • No historic drilling has been recorded at any of the goal areas, highlighting the underexplored nature of the Music Nicely challenge.
• Subsequent Steps
  • Geological mapping and sampling over these new targets are scheduled for the subsequent two weeks to achieve additional perception into the brand new targets.
  • Outcomes from the January rock chip sampling program are anticipated shortly.

“The work by SensOre has focussed our consideration from areas of outcrop, towards regional targets that are obscured in lots of circumstances by skinny cowl and sheetwash. By making use of groundbreaking applied sciences resembling synthetic intelligence has enabled the speedy prioritization of a number of targets. The definition of targets reflecting a selected geophysical and geochemical response which additionally focuses on key mineralised structural tendencies offers encouragement as to the strong nature of the concentrating on course of”.

Figure1: Regional Tenement Packages and Gold Initiatives

Background:

Augustus Minerals Restricted( ASX: AUG) holds the exploration licenses and functions comprising the Music Nicely Gold Undertaking (“Undertaking”) positioned 35km north of Leonora within the Leonora/Laverton Greenstone Belt of Western Australia.

Music Nicely contains ten exploration licences protecting an space of 1,345km2, making the Undertaking one of many largest exploration packages within the area (Figures 1 and a couple of).

The excellent gold endowment of the Leonora-Laverton District of >28M ounces3 is illustrated by the quite a few working gold mines together with the Darlot Gold Mine (~12km to the north), the King of the Hills Mine (~20km to the west), the Leonora Gold Camp (~30km to the southwest), and the Thunderbox Gold Mine (~20km to the west).

AI Enhanced Gold Exploration

The Firm commenced a gold concentrating on train with SensOre_X Pty Ltd (SensOre) in November 2024, utilizing their Synthetic Intelligence (AI) and Machine Studying (ML) applied sciences to permit predictive analytics to generate targets for discovery of gold programs on the Music Nicely challenge.

SensOre is an trade main expertise providers supplier of AI/ML functions to the minerals exploration and mining trade. SensOre’s applied sciences have been developed over a few years and contain the appliance of recent laptop assisted statistical approaches and ML strategies throughout the mineral cycle to supply the subsequent technology of exploration discoveries. SensOre goals to develop into the highest world minerals concentrating on firm by means of deployment of huge knowledge, AI/ML applied sciences and geoscience experience.

The Firm dedicated to this new technological method to gold exploration at Music Nicely to strengthen the prevailing generative exploration undertaken by the Firm and ship new “out of the field” targets for gold mineralisation over the challenge space, which has minimal historic exploration and restricted outcrop.

As well as, the Firm has inherited a big and spectacular database of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data since buying Music Nicely Gold Mines Pty Ltd in late 2024. Having quite a lot of good high quality datasets is taken into account a key attribute for the appliance of the AI/ML expertise to speed up the invention course of. The information layers used within the AI/ML processing embody outcomes from 2,478 Extremely effective fraction soil samples, 18,042 soil samples and 155 rock chip samples, along with detailed aeromagnetic and gravity knowledge.

The Music Nicely challenge is contained inside an space of affect (AOI) the place a “knowledge dice” was constructed protecting the 4 100k scale regional map sheets containing 80m x 80m cells. This knowledge dice comprises 1,440,000 cells x 1,618 variables the place the AI/ML expertise was utilized.

The applying of the machine studying method utilized by SensOre to the database of geochemical, geological and geophysical data compiled over the Firm’s AOI has demonstrated the extremely gold potential nature of the Music Nicely challenge. Software of the machine studying algorithms modelled the chance of gold programs inside the AOI and extra particularly the Music Nicely challenge. This required 107 variables for discrimination that have been utilized to the 80m by 80m cells inside the AOI.
