Wedoany.com Report on Feb 10th, the Sichuan Provincial Geological Survey Institute that China's first provincial-level AI prospecting platform has achieved initial results. In 2025, three intelligently selected mineral exploration rights were successfully transferred, marking Sichuan's entry into the "AI+" era for geological prospecting.

Previously, the Provincial Geological Survey Institute constructed a strategic mineral AI prediction methodology and technology system, built an AI prospecting platform, and utilized big data and artificial intelligence. Through methods like data organization and prospecting prediction model development, they rapidly selected exploration blocks, which were evaluated by authoritative experts as domestically leading.

In 2025, three intelligently selected mineral exploration rights were successfully transferred. Among them, the Miansha Town Gold Mine exploration right in Mianning County was the first successfully transferred AI prospecting achievement nationwide, with a transaction price of 30.1 million yuan and a premium rate of 1572.22%. In 2026, the Provincial Geological Survey Institute will further optimize the AI prospecting platform, striving to achieve breakthroughs in prospecting, while also assisting in the transfer of multiple already cataloged blocks identified by the AI prospecting platform.

As the "main force" in Sichuan's geological research, in 2026, the Provincial Geological Survey Institute will continue to strengthen its geological science and technology innovation capabilities. On one hand, it will effectively utilize existing scientific and technological resources, explore establishing a technological innovation center or innovation consortium with existing sci-tech innovation platforms as the main body, accelerating the transformation of more research achievements into industrial products. On the other hand, it will enhance original innovation and tackle key core technologies, accelerating the application of "AI + geology".
