The multi-source and multi-scale Earth Observation and novel machine learning methods for mineral exploration and mine site monitoring (MultiMiner) project develops novel data processing algorithms for efficient utilization of Earth Observation technologies for mineral exploration and mine site monitoring. MultiMiner unlocks the potential of EO data to support the entire mining life cycle from early and advanced stage mineral exploration to operational, closure and post-closure stages.

The multi-source and multi-scale Earth Observation and novel machine learning methods for mineral exploration and mine site monitoring (MultiMiner) project develops novel data processing algorithms for efficient utilization of Earth Observation (EO) technologies for mineral exploration and mine site monitoring. MultiMiner unlocks the potential of EO data, including Copernicus, commercial satellites, airborne, drone and in situ data, to support the entire mining life cycle from early and advanced stage mineral exploration to operational, closure and post-closure stages. This is achieved by creating generic, but highly innovative scalable machine learning (ML) solutions which aim to limit the need for in situ data collected on the ground. With MultiMiner, the entire mining process from mineral exploration to mine-site operations will be made safer, more efficient and more environmentally conscious. MultiMiner will aid in the EU efforts to become self-sufficient in critical raw materials.
