Artificial Intelligence; A powerful tool for innovation in the mining industry

Mahmoud Khavari Daneshvar stated in an interview with Mizan: "Basically, speaking about the mining industry without considering the technology component and using modern tools, including artificial intelligence, is meaningless at this stage. Innovation in extraction, processing, and mining waste management methods can help reduce water and energy consumption, minimize waste production, and rehabilitate mining areas. This is essential for environmental preservation and the long-term sustainability of the industry.

Additionally, creativity in designing new equipment, optimizing existing processes, and utilizing modern technologies (such as automation and robotics) can lead to faster extraction, reduced operational costs, and improved worker safety. Beyond what has been mentioned, innovation in exploration methods, such as using advanced remote sensing, 3D modeling, and geophysical and geochemical data analysis, enables the discovery of new and valuable mineral reserves."

Khavari Daneshvar further emphasized: "Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for advancing creativity and innovation in the mining industry. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data collected from sensors and sampling, identifying patterns that may be overlooked by humans. This helps in more accurately predicting the locations of new mineral deposits.

Moreover, AI can generate precise 3D models of the subsurface, aiding a better understanding of geological structures and the positioning of mineral reserves. Image analysis using AI can also help identify potential mining areas and monitor mining activities. Therefore, the importance of applying artificial intelligence in the mining industry is undeniable."
