Golden AI Data Acquisition and Processing Platform for Safe, Sustainable and Cost-Efficient Mining Operations

Improved use of Earth observation, sensor and positioning data can offer additional exploitation and environmental control and increase the productivity of mines. The EU-funded Goldeneye project develops a Golden AI platform to allow satellites, drones and in situ sensors to collect high-resolution data from an entire mine. This data will be processed and converted into actionable intelligence in new tools offering improved safety, environmental observation, exploitation and increased extraction in pilot mines. The project will combine remote sensing and positioning technologies to take advantage of Earth observation and Earth GNSS data together with data fusion and processing powered by data analytics and machine learning algorithms. The benefits of Golden AI platform will be demonstrated in mining pilots in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Kosovo and Romania.
