Mining Tech Giant Brings AI-Powered Exploration Tools to PDAC 2026

Seequent, a leader in subsurface software solutions, is showcasing a major push into artificial intelligence and cloud-connected workflows at this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention.

The company is highlighting how it uses machine learning and advanced data platforms to help mining companies find minerals faster while reducing overall project risk.

The core of Seequent’s display revolves around its evolution toward smarter exploration tools. Their platform, Seequent Evo, serves as the central hub for these advancements, designed to make complex geoscience data accessible and “AI-ready.”

By combining machine learning with cloud computing, the company aims to move beyond traditional manual modeling, allowing geologists to generate structural insights much more quickly.

This shift toward automated, data-driven modeling is intended to help the industry keep pace with the increasing demand for critical minerals needed for the global energy transition.

Beyond its own software updates, Seequent is emphasizing the importance of connected ecosystems within the mining sector. A key highlight of the event is a collaboration with Orica, which demonstrates how specialized software can bridge the gap between office-based geologists and field-based drilling teams.

By integrating these previously separate workflows, the companies are working to eliminate communication bottlenecks and ensure that insights gained from underground modeling are applied directly to drilling operations without losing time or precision.

The company is positioning these technological leaps not just as incremental improvements, but as essential tools for the next decade of modern, responsible resource exploration.
