In this episode, we chat with Denis Laviolette, Executive Chair of GoldSpot Discoveries. It is are a technology/investment company that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to significantly improve mineral exploration targeting on both a regional and local scale. Denis is a geologist by background and has worked on three different continents, Canada, Norway, and Ghana during his career. He has a range of experience working on advanced mine operations, start-up mine management, grassroots exploration, and financing and acquisitions. Now he is bringing machine learning to the resources sector. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Increasingly, mineral explores are using big data and machine learning to accelerate exploration. Goldspot´s focus is on reducing risk. Getting more out of the data you have is a big part of doing this. Their team consists of many specialised individuals that also have expertise in sub-disciplines for example geology or geophysics. They employ data scientists as well as geoscientists. Currently, the accuracy of the data they are given initially is not adequate. So, there is always an element of additional research necessary. The fact that, over the decades, geologists have used different names for the same rock means core samples need to be relogged to be useful. Goldspot has developed Litho Lens to speed up core relogging. It uses historic core photos. Data needs to be accurate. In the podcast, Denis shares several examples of how the flaws with the data can be recognised and how it can be cleaned up. Sometimes it is possible to use data from a neighbouring project to learn more about your asset. Goldspot is starting to offer its AI tools and software to individual companies so they can use them to speed up their exploration.  BEST MOMENTS ‘With any particular mining project, the data sets are different, the problems that need solving are different. ´ ‘It's about that front end work, standardization, homogenization and cleaning up the data.’  EPISODE RESOURCES Email: denis@goldspot.ca Denis Laviolette LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/denis-laviolette-928a30a7 Website: https://goldspot.ca/ LinkedIn: GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. | LinkedIn Twitter: https://twitter.com/goldspotd?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/GoldSpot-Discoveries-Corp VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first world to third world countries from Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

018: GoldSpot Discoveries (SPOT) - Denis Laviolette

Frank feels that high-frequency trading should really be called high-frequency research. It's the capacity to read and analyze information very quickly and make decisions. What can take months or years of study can now be done with data processing and machine learning in minutes. There is an evolution in quant-based ETF's, and they are shown to outperform. Denis talks about his background at Pinetree Capital and what lead him to start Goldspot. He felt that there was a better way to look at data. He wanted to bring high-quality data science, machine language, and A.I. into the mining space. The power of data is an untapped market that can be used to unlock deep value in exploration and investment data. Goldspot has intrigued Frank in the way they apply A.I. to all of the data that is out there. Exceptional athletes have gifts that others don't have, and Gold Spot is similar in the way they can look at data. Machines can analyze multiple layers of information in ways that people can't. They built a set of tools to look at existing data, and then they extrapolate and find those patterns in other data sets. For example, they can look at these relationships to find similar geology in new exploration regions. The industry has been spending money on new technology, but they have been failing to analyze that data properly. Goldspot can unlock the value of that data, and they teach companies how to do that.Time Stamp References: 0:45 - Frank introduces Goldspot, Denis, and their tech. 4:00 - Quant based ETF. 6:00 - Professional sports and A.I. 8:45 - Canada becomes a leader in this field. 9:30 - Denis begins the presentation. 10:00 - What got Denis into this field. 12:00 - Looking at the mining history of Nevada. 13:30 - Datasets and looking for patterns. 15:50 - Where they get their revenue. 17:40 - Finding key investments. 24:00 - Visualizing management teams and people. 26:00 - Analyzing all of the metals over time. 28:00 - How the market is changing.Talking Points From This Week's Episode• Why machine learning is not going away.• A.I. can unlock hidden information quickly.• They work with investment and geological data.• They have an exceptionally talented team.He states that their technology isn't that revolutionary; they are utilizing a lot of existing tools and some of their own. Goldspot's strengths lie in their talented team. They can find the best opportunities in the space and focus in on what is essential.Frank E. Holmes is the Independent Chairman of GoldSpot Discoveries Inc. and is also Chief Investment Officer of U.S. Global Investors, a leading mutual fund and asset management firm.
