Case Studies & Deliverables
From prediction to proof.
Vector To Gold doesn’t just talk about discovery — we demonstrate it. This page presents selected case studies, validation reports, and deliverables that show how our STRATA system performs in practice.
Each study highlights:
The challenge — dataset or exploration context.
Our approach — how STRATA applied Codex logic to the problem.
The outcome — predictive accuracy, structural insight, or validation against real results.
These are not theoretical white papers. They are tangible demonstrations of how Vector Science and the STRATA platform generate actionable discovery intelligence.

Drill Prediction Performance – First Validation with “Miner One”
Vector To Gold tested STRATA against 36 publicly reported drill holes from Miner One. All predictions were generated using only publicly available data.
Results at a glance:
75–100% hit rates identifying mineralized envelopes.
Sub-1 g/t mean error in the best rounds.
Improved precision with each system upgrade.
Conservative but credible predictions even on incomplete datasets.
Bottom Line: STRATA consistently identified “where gold lives” using only collar data, proving the system’s reliability and efficiency. With richer datasets, STRATA v5+ will deliver exploration-grade precision at interval level.

STRATA Briefing Note
Independent Detection and Validation of AI Use at Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM)
Executive Summary
In early 2025, Vector To Gold’s STRATA system ran structural scans across Agnico Eagle’s Macassa and Detour Lake operations. The analysis flagged drill patterns that carried the hallmarks of algorithmic targeting — optimized plunge angles, uniform step-outs along collapse margins, and saturation drilling at collapse cones.
At the time, STRATA concluded:
“There are clear signs of AI influence in AEM’s drill placement and modeling behavior. Whether homebuilt or vendor-assisted, someone is running guidance models here.”
Only later did we discover that AEM had already disclosed, in 2023, its adoption of multi-sensor drill core scanning, AI-driven geological interpretation, and algorithmic sampling guidance.
