ACAN - State-of-the-art deep learning applied to Canada-wide mineral prospectivity mapping

AMENDMENT TO CLOSING TIME: Please disregard the Ariba Discovery posting response deadline closing time and CanadaBuys posting closing time. All required supporting documentation and bid submission must be submitted by May 21, 2024 at 14:00 EST. All bids submitted after 14:00 EST will result in the bid being declared non-responsive. Natural Resources Canada is conducting research as part of the Critical Mineral Geoscience Data (CMGD) program to support sustainable resource development of critical minerals. A significant component of this research aims to develop and improve advanced predictive geoscience methodologies to help focus exploration efforts and reduce risk. As part of this effort, Natural Resources Canada wants to enhance its ability to accurately predict favorable exploration areas by developing new deep-learning methodologies tailored explicitly for the prospectivity mapping of critical minerals at the scale of Canada. The proposed contract is for a period twenty eight (28) months from the date of contract award.
