  Predictive Critical Mineral Measurement Software

  Currently, measurement of critical minerals (CM), such as rare earth elements (REE), are done in laboratory settings. This software uses neural network created algorithms to provide real-time concentration estimates of critical minerals in carbon ore. Output from this software is used to sort CM containing resources based on concentration levels.
