The application of deep learning algorithms in mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) is a hot topic in mineral exploration. However, few studies have focused on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in terms of integrating different evidential layers to map mineral potential. In this study, a gated recurrent unit (GRU) model was employed …

Numerous models and algorithms have been attempted for mineral prospectivity mapping in the past, and in this thesis we propose two new approaches. The first is a modified …

Regions with low prospectivity scores and high uncertainty should also be considered during mineral exploration decision–making since at least some of the evidence is favourable in these H3 cells. Covered areas with mixed evidence and thus high uncertainty tend to be associated with prospective pathways that were identified using …

Three-dimensional mineral prospectivity mapping (3DMPM) aims to explore deep mineral resources and many methods have been developed for this task in recent years.
