“We are excited to work with GoldSpot to leverage their machine learning capabilities to increase our potential for success in expanding our mineral reserves through the accelerated drilling campaign we will be launching this year with the proceeds from our recently completed financing.”

Earlier this month, Gran Colombia closed a C$20m ($14.96m) private placement offering on a bought deal basis led by GMP Securities and Scotiabank.

“We aim to address the big data challenge in mining.”

The company proposes to use the net proceeds of the placement to accelerate its ongoing exploration programmes at Segovia.

Iacono said that the funds can be used to carry out the equivalent of five years of drilling within the next two years.

Goldspot Discoveries CEO and president Denis Laviolette said: “We are excited to work with Gran Colombia at its Segovia Operations as we aim to address the big data challenge in mining.”
