Sierra Leone · Heavy Mineral Sands
Moyamba Rutile Project
An AI-prioritised heavy-mineral-sands project in Sierra Leone. Our platform ranked the ground before a crew mobilised, and field pitting has since confirmed high-grade rutile, ilmenite, and zircon clustering inside the flagged zones.

AI-guided target identification
Before a single pit was dug, our AI platform screened satellite imagery, digital elevation data, drainage networks, and historical sample results to rank the licence by mineral prospectivity. It flagged the eastern and central sectors as the highest-priority target and directed a focused 500 m by 500 m reconnaissance grid to the ground worth walking.
Confirmed in the field
Field validation is bearing out the AI targeting. Across 84 reconnaissance pits, the 46 samples panned so far include nine with heavy-mineral-concentrate recoveries above 2 percent, all clustering inside the AI-flagged zone, and peaking at 3.49 percent (dry) and 4.96 percent (deslimed) at a single pit.
High-value titanium minerals
The deposit hosts rutile, ilmenite, and zircon: titanium-bearing heavy minerals essential to aerospace, pigments, ceramics, and advanced manufacturing.
Technology-enabled development
Proprietary AI and geospatial analytics continue to guide resource modelling, mine planning, and production scheduling, with a transparent, verifiable record of project data from ground to market.
