DroneSOM – more precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly mineral exploration

DroneSOM (Drone Geophysics and Self-Organizing Maps) aims to harness drones and machine learning to improve the current mineral exploration methods.
By combining cutting-edge scientific research with drone industry expertise, the project partners aim to launch a comprehensive set of new machine learning tools and methodologies for commercialization in 2025.

FEM 2025 Short course: Geophysics applied to targeting

Short Course organised by Fennoscandian Exploration and Mining Conference (FEM): Geophysics applied to targeting Day 1: Special Session: Drone applications and data integration using self-organizing maps Date and time: Monday, 27, October 2025 at 11.30–18.00 Location: Hotel Hullu Poro, Levi For: FEM 2025 geophysics short course participants

Welcome to learn new about drone applications and data integration using self-organizing maps! 

In this session, you will get familiar with building magnetic and electromagnetic models. In addition to a short introduction to theoretics about geophysics and mineral prospective modelling (MPM), you will learn through data integration demonstrations and hands-on exercises using a modelling software (to be downloaded on your personal computer beforehand – instructions will be sent to participants closer to the event).
