The Drilling Data You Need Has Probably Already Been Filed
Open File is an AI platform built for exploration teams. It reads your internal archive, the public open-file record, or both, and turns decades of drilling reports into something you can actually question in plain English.
The Best Data You Have Access to Has Already Been Filed and Forgotten
Every exploration team is sitting on three separate piles of data: decades of internal reports on shared drives, a public government archive going back to the typewriter era, and every drilling announcement the industry has ever published. None of it is easy to read across a whole project, let alone a whole tenement package.
Units change between reports
Grades, depths and intercepts are recorded differently report to report, decade to decade, making genuine comparison slow and error-prone by hand.
The public archive is enormous
Decades of government-held exploration reports exist, but reading them manually to find what's relevant to your ground is not realistic.
Announcements move fast
New drilling results are published constantly, and tracking what matters to your own targets across all of them is a full-time job on its own.
Three Steps: Ask, Map, Target
01. Ask
Question the whole library in plain English. Every answer cites the exact document it came from.
02. Map
Every drill hole goes onto one map, with the ground repriced against today's metal prices.
03. Target
Decades of drilling get fused over the one deposit, so the platform can surface what the original drillers had no way of seeing.
Australia Has Walked Past World-Class Ground Before
Deposits get explored, written up, and abandoned, then found again years later by someone who read the same ground differently. The rock never changes. What changes is what somebody can read in it.
Kalgoorlie
Miners took a dull, heavy rock for fool's gold and built it into the town's roads. In 1896 it was identified as calaverite, a gold telluride, roughly 42% gold by atom count.
Mount Isa
Silver-lead was found in 1923. Sustained copper production from the same ground did not begin until 1966, and it became one of the country's most prolific copper operations.
Century
Lead and silver were found in 1887. The fine-grained zinc, concealed beneath cover, was not discovered until 1990, one of the largest zinc mines in the world.
Roy Hill
BHP explored the tenements and let them go. Hancock's own 1992 staff reports advised against picking them up. First ore shipped in 2015.
Every Data Point Verified by a Person
Before it counts, every extracted data point is checked by a person against the original source document, not just pulled by AI and trusted blindly.
Common Questions
What can I actually ask it?
Plain-English questions about intercepts, grades, locations or trends across your whole document library, with every answer cited back to its source.
Does it cover the public archive too?
Yes. It can read your own internal reports, the public open-file record, or both together, so your ground sits in its full historical context.
