Predictive Model of Mineral Exploration

This repository contains the code and resources for a predictive model designed to enhance mineral exploration efforts. The model leverages machine learning techniques to analyze geological, geochemical, and geophysical data, identifying areas with a high probability of mineral deposits.

Features

• Data Preprocessing: Tools for cleaning and preprocessing raw exploration data.
• Feature Engineering: Techniques to extract meaningful features from complex datasets.
• Model Training: Implementation of various machine learning algorithms (e.g., Random Forest, SVM, Neural Networks) to build predictive models.
• Model Evaluation: Metrics and visualization tools to assess the performance of the models.
• Prediction and Mapping: Methods to apply the trained models to new data and visualize potential mineral hotspots on a map.
