The challenge
23
In March 2000, Goldcorp Inc. invited contestants from all over the world to submit exploration proposals for its Red Lake Mine Property.
The contest was named “The Challenge”.
Each proposal had to be: concise, identify specific targets, be supported by appropriate geological reasoning, and be submitted by e-mail in the English language.
Proposals could be submitted by individuals or by teams.
Geological information about the Property was available by CD-Rom and supplemented with additional information on the web site (http://www.goldcorpchallenge.com/ challenge.homepagesatic.html).

The results
24
More than 110 sites were identified.
Half of these were previously unknown to the company.
Of these new targets, more than 80 % yielded significant gold reserves.
The then CEO, was of the opinion that process cut two to three years off the company’s exploration timeline.
The estimated value of the targets was estimated at being worth than USD6 billion in value.
The prize money was only a little over half-a-million dollars. https://www.ideaconnection.com/open-innovation-success/Open-Innovation-Goldcorp-Challenge-00031.html

The new tools – in summary
Automated drill rigs. Real-time monitoring. Real-time downhole geophysics . Real-time sample analysis and systems. Hyperspectral analysis. Big data integration and analysis.

Dave Lowell’s 9 rules
Ore is rock which can be mined at a profit.
Mines are found in the field, not the office.
Mines are found by drilling holes.
Exploration is a cost-benefit business.
High-tech devices and geophysical surveys are very rarely of value in mine discovery.
35https://www.mining.com/nine-rules-for-exploration-success-from-the-worlds-best-mine-finder/https://www.segweb.org/pdf/views/2014/04/SEG-Newsletter-Views-Siegfried-Muessig.pdf

Dave Lowell’s 9 rules
It is important to have a good understanding of the target you are looking for, including understanding some mining engineering, metallurgy, mine finance, and mineral economics.
Mineral exploration has a very low probability of success.
Finding mines is a high-risk business. Plan your own exploration project.

What does it mean for me? Geological understanding will always be the most
important skill in building valid geological models.
Implicit modelling will provide maximum benefit from the flood of real-time geoscience data.
Geoscientists must develop multi-discipline skill sets.
Understand the requirements of all downstream customers of resource models.
