Buying AI tools is easy. Every company can license a model. Hard paet is making separate tools talk to each other and provide insight that improves decisions.
NRED has MetalCore for geological intelligence. And now they're evaluating EyeX for computer vision for operational tweaks. They hired a CTO with a experience in computer vision and large scale AI.
I keep thinking about what that actually means. MetalCore might flag a target area based on geophysical and geochemical data. Field teams deploy there. Drones or oldschool cameras on poles capture visuals. EyeX monitors location of equipment and hazards.
From what ive seen companies that build ecosystems or try end up with a collection of apps that don't have insightful cross section. If separate tems use different software he data stays in silos. Nothing gets smarter.
So now NRED has both tools and person capable of maing it work. The CTO hire suggests they at least recognize the integration challange. But building a connected workflow between exploration intelligence and physical site intelligence is complex. It requires technical expertise and decisions that many junior mining companies don't have the bandwidth to pull off. I think the real reason to watch NRED isn't whether they have AI tools. Its cause those tools can become one system which gets repriced exponentionally once done
