AI-assisted targeting helps focus expenditure on the most prospective areas but does not predict or guarantee the discovery of mineral resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-text\">Generative \/ Conceptual Exploration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data-driven methods are also used to test multiple geological hypotheses and explore for concealed or under-explored mineral systems, which are conceptual in nature and have not yet been demonstrated to host mineral resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-text\">Closing Strategy Statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Montero\u2019s combination of experienced teams, disciplined fieldwork, and modern data tools is designed to efficiently identify, prioritise, and advance high-quality opportunities in Chile.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geology-led.
