Two years into the EIS project, significant progress has been made in developing innovative tools for mineral prospectivity mapping. Our partners at GISPO have published an insightful article reflecting on their contributions to developing innovative, open-source software for mineral prospectivity mapping.
Over the past few years, Gispo has collaborated with Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), Beak Consultants GmbH, University of Turku, and BRGM to develop two groundbreaking digital tools:
- EIS Toolkit – A standalone Python library integrating machine learning and spatial data analysis to improve mineral prospectivity mapping.
- EIS QGIS Plugin – A user-friendly interface that enhances accessibility, streamlining workflows for geologists and exploration professionals.
These tools mark a significant advancement in mineral exploration, making state-of-the-art methodologies more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. They allow professionals to better identify mineral-rich areas while minimizing environmental impact, aligning with the EU’s push for responsible resource management.
In Gispo’s latest blog post, they share: Insights into the development process of the EIS tools; Key features and real-world applications of EIS Toolkit & EIS QGIS Plugin; Reflections on project successes, challenges, and future potential.
