Minerals may be identified by optical inspection and x-ray diffraction analysis. Full and correct identification, however, requires experience and extensive knowledge of mineral characteristics and association. Computer systems designed to approach levels of human expertise in similarly complex identification tasks have become increasingly effective with the application and refinement of ...

PROSPECTOR is an expert system which was designed for decision making problems in mineral exploration. It uses a structure called an inference network to represent the data base. PROSPECTOR was written in 1978 by Richard O. Duda (1979), then of SRI International.
This paper describes a program for interpretation of oil-well measurements. Two techniques have been merged for this purpose: the expert system technique (production rules) which lends itself to the symbolic reasoning aspect of the problem and pattern recognition technique (mainly the split and merge algorithm) to interpret curves measuring physical properties of rocks.

Mineral prospecting is the exploration of geological sites to discover the likelihood of a particular ore being present. This type of an expert system should be able to collect inputs from sensors sited in a particular location or use satellite data from such sensors or the data could be input by an expert (through the interface).The system is used to calculate the probability of minerals ...
Expert System in Artificial Intelligence. In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision-making capacity of a human expert. Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, mainly by representing the rules, rather than by conventional procedural code.
Prospecting is the first stage of the geological analysis (followed by exploration) of a territory.It is the search for minerals, fossils, precious metals, or mineral specimens.It is also known as fossicking.. Traditionally prospecting relied on direct observation of mineralization in rock outcrops or in sediments.
Expert System Component # 2. Knowledge Base: This is the most important element of an expert system since it holds the expert's problem solving knowledge. It is where the knowledge elicited from the expert is stored. It contains rules, facts and descriptions of objects etc.

EXPERT SYSTEMS Abstract: Expert systems have proven to be effective in a number of problem domains, which normally require the kind of intelligence possessed by a human expert the kind of intelligence possessed by a human expert. The areas of application are almost endless. Where ever human expertise is needed to solve problems, expert systems are likely candidates for application.
The effectiveness of Azimut's expert system has been extensively validated and continuously improved through multiple major exploration programs conducted at the scale of the province. The value of a predictive methodology is proven by its high conversion rate with substantial field mineral discoveries.
In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system emulating the decision-making ability of a human expert. Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning through bodies of knowledge, represented mainly as if–then rules rather than through conventional procedural code. The first expert systems were created in the 1970s and then proliferated in the 1980s.
possibly be competent to prospect for them all. No government specialist, academic authority, or corporate expert is able to recognize the surface expression of all ore types under all conditions.
