SensOre

What SensOre does

SensOre Ltd is an Australia-headquartered, ASX-listed (S3N) mineral exploration technology company that applies proprietary machine learning to predict the location, endowment, grade and depth of mineral deposits. Its core platform is the Data Cube (Data Hypercube), a multi-dimensional, gridded geospatial repository containing more than 2,500 geoscience data layers and over 60 billion discrete data points across Australia, integrated with a proprietary Discoveries Database of 61,660 mineral occurrences. On top of this data foundation, SensOre operates DPT (Discriminant Predictive Targeting) and a suite of specialised ML modules — AGLADS, iGRock, SimClust, iDeposit, iFertile, iGOSSAN, I-GRANITE, GPreds and SAM — that classify rocks, alteration systems and deposit types for gold, nickel, copper, lithium, cobalt, PGE and rare earth targets. NLP capability is embedded via proprietary geological dictionaries that convert geological map and report text into model-ready inputs.

The company monetises this technology primarily through enterprise professional services engagements — AI-target generation, prospectivity mapping, drill site optimisation and data management — sold via a quote/proposal process to junior, mid-tier and major mining and exploration companies in Australia. A secondary revenue stream comes through Intrepid Geophysics, a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in July 2022 for approximately AUD 5 million, which licenses geophysical software and processed continental magnetics, gravity and radiometrics data products. Customers are concentrated in Western Australia, with offices in Perth (operational) and Melbourne (headquarters). In July 2025, following a liquidity crisis tied to a downturn in mineral exploration, SensOre accepted AUD 365K of emergency convertible-note funding from existing Noteholders and a AUD 287.5K investment from Alpha Future Funds, who acquired a 55% controlling stake in SensOre Pty Ltd, with an option for a further AUD 363K to fund AI platform rollout.

Core offering

SensOre provides AI-enhanced mineral exploration targeting services and proprietary technology to mining and exploration companies. Core offerings include AI-target generation, prospectivity mapping, drill site optimisation, and data management services, powered by its proprietary Data Cube and DPT (Discriminant Predictive Targeting) platform that fuses geochemistry, geophysics, and geological data to predict the location, size, grade, and depth of mineral deposits. The company also licenses geophysical software and processed continental data compilations through its wholly owned subsidiary Intrepid Geophysics.

Product overview

SensOre is an AI-enhanced mineral exploration technology company operating a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core platform consists of the Data Cube (Data Hypercube), a proprietary multidimensional geoscience database with 2,500+ data layers and 60+ billion data points, and the Discoveries Database containing 61,660 mineral occurrences. The primary AI-targeting product is DPT (Discriminant Predictive Targeting), which generates predictions for deposit location, size, grade, and depth. Supporting the platform are specialized ML modules including AGLADS (gold alteration detection), igROCK (igneous rock classification), SimClust (geochemical population analysis), iDeposit (deposit type classification), iFertile (lithium pegmatite potential), iGOSSAN (base metal detection), and GPreds (predictive models for Au, Cu, Ni, Li). These tools are offered both as integrated components within the platform and as standalone services including AI-target generation, prospectivity mapping, drill site optimisation, and data management.

• Intrepid GeophysicscoreTechnology or Integration · 6 July 2022Intrepid Geophysics was acquired by SensOre in July 2022 for approximately $5 million (primarily through issuing new SensOre shares). The acquisition expanded SensOre's AI-based geophysics capacity and enhanced geophysical software and exploration capabilities. Intrepid Geophysics operates as a wholly-owned technology and software company within SensOre, delivering advanced processed continental compilations for magnetics, gravity, and radiometrics data. Pilot projects confirmed technological synergies between the companies prior to acquisition.

Direct peers

• KoBold Metals: AI-driven mineral exploration company applying machine learning to large geoscience datasets to discover deposits of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper. Direct competitor to SensOre in the AI mineral targeting category, with substantially more capital backing and a global rather than Australia-only data footprint.
• Earth AI: AI-powered mineral exploration platform that combines proprietary ML with a vertically integrated exploration program to validate targets. Competes with SensOre in applying machine learning to predict and test mineral deposits, with an emphasis on critical minerals for the energy transition.
• VerAI Discoveries: AI mineral targeting company using machine learning on multi-layer geoscience datasets to predict the location of concealed mineral deposits. Directly comparable to SensOre's DPT/Data Cube approach and operating in the same predictive targeting niche.
• Mira Geoscience: Geoscience software and consulting firm offering multi-disciplinary data integration, 3D geological modelling, and AI-assisted targeting for mineral exploration. Comparable to SensOre in fusing geophysics, geochemistry, and geology data into prospectivity products for mining clients.

Emerging players

• Ideon Technologies: Subsurface intelligence platform using muon tomography and advanced sensors to image mineral deposits. Adjacent to SensOre in providing high-resolution targeting data, with overlapping customer base in critical minerals exploration but a fundamentally different sensing technology.
• Corescan: Hyperspectral mineral analysis service and technology provider for drill core and rock chips. Adjacent to SensOre in providing mineral characterisation data that feeds into prospectivity modelling and exploration decision-making.
• First Atlantic Nickel: Critical minerals exploration company applying modern geophysical and geochemical techniques to nickel and related deposits. Comparable to SensOre's exploration clientele and overlaps in the critical minerals targeting narrative, though focused on self-funded exploration rather than AI software.

Broad incumbents

• Seequent (acquired by Bentley Systems): Established geoscience analysis and modelling software provider used widely across mining and infrastructure. Competes with SensOre's data integration and prospectivity capabilities as part of a broader portfolio of geological modelling tools (Leapfrog, GeoStudio).
• Imdex: Mining technology company providing drilling fluids, downhole instrumentation, and digital sampling solutions. A broader incumbent in the mining tech stack with overlapping customers in exploration but a focus on drilling hardware rather than AI prospectivity.
• Maptek: Long-established provider of mine planning, geological modelling, and resource estimation software for the global mining industry. Competes with SensOre in the geoscience software layer for mining customers but with a much broader portfolio of operational tools.
