KazRock Global fuses a million declassified Soviet geological reports, live Sentinel satellite ground-truth, and six national licence cadastres into one calibrated number: the probability that a piece of unclaimed ground holds an economic deposit.
Each leg is public or semi-public on its own. The moat is the join, and the speed of acting on it.
From 1950–1991 the USSR systematically mapped all of Central Asia at 1:200 000 and 1:50 000: drillholes, geophysics, GKZ-classified resource estimates. Roughly a million scanned, Russian-language reports, inaccessible to Western explorers. Industrial OCR + LLM extraction collapses that barrier.
OCR · ru → structuredSentinel-2 SWIR alteration mapping and Sentinel-1 InSAR independently corroborate or invalidate the archive at zero marginal cost per location. A Soviet P1 estimate and a strong iron-oxide + clay signal at the same coordinate is materially higher-conviction than either alone.
S2 · S1 · ASTERKazakhstan and its neighbours issue solid-mineral exploration licences on a first-application basis, with statutory decision windows measured in working days. Speed of identification is the moat. The first correct application wins the ground.
6 cadastres · liveNot a vibes-based ranking, but a calibrated probability that drilling confirms or exceeds the historical estimate, recomputed every time new evidence lands.
Every score decomposes into six 0–10 sub-scores. Two clicks return the full evidence chain: the document, the satellite acquisition, the calculation.
Cold start. A weighted blend of the six features while the field record is thin.
At 30+ drilling outcomes, a logistic model fits. Brier & ECE tracked on every result.
At 200+ outcomes, a hierarchical model per terrane & commodity, with SHAP & conformal intervals.
Six surfaces, one boundary. Target lists, application drafts and royalty positions never leave the platform except through a watermarked data room.
A ranked, calibrated working environment: map left, target list right. Filter by commodity, score, licence availability, score-change direction.
Six national licence registries, snapshot-diffed daily. Lapse alerts at T-180/90/30/0 and competitor-activity alerts within 25 km of any live prospect.
Pre-filled, jurisdiction-aware licence bundles. The KZ set renders all six statutory documents from templates, geologist- and legal-signed.
Held-licence management with work-programme compliance tracking and offline-first field capture. Every sample logged re-scores its prospect.
Royalty, JV and sale structures. Investor-grade Technical Packages with Competent-Person attestation and PAdES digital signatures.
The AI analyst surface. Quick screens, deep dives and risk briefs. Streamed, grounded, every claim cited back to a source section.
Evidence lands; prospects emerge ranked. A 50-page Russian PDF becomes a scored target in under ten minutes. Coordinates rigorously converted, provenance stamped on every field.
Each carries a distinct archive language, coordinate system, classifier and regulator. Jurisdiction is a column on every prospect, document and licence.
Every score, coordinate and estimate traces to a document, an acquisition or a named human. “Why does this score 87?” returns a complete chain.
The score is a probability we hold ourselves to: Brier and ECE tracked on every drilling outcome, recalibrated as the record fills.
Source document, page, bounding box, extractor and confidence are set on every field. Queryable, not a comment.
Document to ranked target in ten minutes. Cadastre lapses surface within sixty seconds of detection. The first correct application wins.
Find the ground first. Drill the right metres. Sign the right paper. Compound the model with every hole.
