Omid Keshavarzpour, in an interview with the news platform “Madannameh“, regarding the launch of the “New CADAS” system, stated: New CADAS is an advanced version of the CADAS system, designed with updated software and enabling the use of artificial intelligence. The use of artificial intelligence in this system helps integrate data and analyze the existing datasets within the CADAS system.

He added: All parallel capacities, including geoscience databases, information from the Engineering System Organization, and other sources, will be aggregated in the CADAS system, and artificial intelligence will provide updated and valuable analyses using all this information.

The Director General of the Exploration Office of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade, referring to the complexities in the exploration field, said: Artificial intelligence is data-driven, and data must exist to be able to use AI for analysis and utilization of this information. In the exploration domain, data must first be produced so that AI can be applied in later stages. For this reason, currently, artificial intelligence has broader applicability in the mining exploitation sector, where it can be extensively used for estimating extraction amounts from reserves, designing operational processes, and similar tasks. In exploration as well, we are actively pursuing the creation of these capacities to fully benefit from artificial intelligence.

Keshavarzpour also pointed to the use of other new technologies in exploration, stating: Many of these technologies are already used extensively in mineral exploration, and for instance, for several years, the majority of surveying, extraction measurements, and preparation of large-scale maps have been conducted using drones.
