Geonome will present Kalpa — its geospatial and spatiotemporal AI platform for mineral exploration — at the 19th SGA Biennial Meeting (SGA 2027) in Perth, Australia, hosted at The University of Western Australia from 29 August to 2 September 2027.
Geonome's methodology has been selected for the official SGA 2027 short-course and workshop programme as Workshop 1 — “Hyperdimensional Prospectivity”. The one-day workshop is convened by Satyam Pratap Singh, Dietmar Müller, Jan Norbisrath and Utpal Singh (University of Sydney / Geonome), and teaches how Kalpa integrates multi-source geodata with time-evolving plate tectonics — the hyperdimensional WHERE × WHEN predictive framework — for mineral-systems targeting, demonstrated on porphyry-copper systems of the North American Cordillera. Full details are on the official programme: sga2027.org — Short Courses & Workshops.
Global industry validation
Selection to deliver a workshop at an SGA Biennial Meeting is a mark of peer recognition by the international economic-geology community. It confirms that the WHERE × WHEN approach is an established, peer-reviewed methodology in predictive mineral-systems science — a proven capability rather than an untested experiment. For exploration partners and government agencies, that independent validation provides the assurance that the technology is ready to be applied with confidence to their own regional datasets.
About SGA
The Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits (SGA) is a leading international scientific society in economic geology. Its Biennial Meetings convene researchers, explorers and industry worldwide to advance the science of mineral deposits; the 18th meeting was held in Golden, Colorado, in 2025, and the 19th will be held in Perth, Australia, in 2027.
