Mining & Resource Extraction

ARDA ingests drill performance logs, geotechnical sensor streams, ore grade assays, and processing plant data, then discovers the governing physical and geomechanical relationships across the entire extraction value chain. Rather than treating geological, mechanical, and process data as separate analytical domains, ARDA identifies cross-domain governing equations — how rock properties determine drill performance, how ore characteristics drive processing behavior, how equipment loading affects wear dynamics. This integrated approach reveals relationships that siloed analysis cannot surface, enabling mine operators to optimize resource recovery while maintaining safety margins grounded in discovered physical laws.

The Causal mode (powered by CDE) identifies root causes of operational anomalies, distinguishing geological factors from equipment issues from operational parameters — a critical capability in mining environments where multiple variables change simultaneously. ARDA's regime classification detects transitions in rock mass behavior, processing plant dynamics, and equipment condition without manual threshold setting. The Evidence Ledger provides full provenance for every discovered geomechanical relationship and process equation, supporting the environmental and safety reporting requirements that mining operations face. Negative controls including bootstrap stability and out-of-distribution testing validate that governing relationships discovered in one geological zone generalize appropriately across the operation.
