AI for Mining & Rare Earths (Global)
Deep specialization in AI for geological exploration, mine planning, safety monitoring, mineral processing, rare earth element separation, and mine closure sustainability. Built for mining engineers and geologists in the US, UK, EU, Australia, and Canada.
"Optimize drill hole grade interpolation beyond kriging, predict slope failure from displacement velocity, and design a REE separation cascade for Mountain Pass bastnäsite"
6 Modules
Each module builds on the previous one. By the end, you have a complete production system.

How this certificate is scored
Your certificate shows how many of your written answers met the rubric below, checked by an AI grader. Anyone who checks your certificate sees it.
- You answer 6 short questions, one for each module, in your own words (at least 40 words each).
- An AI grader checks each answer against what its module asks for: it must answer the question, use the course's practice case specifically, and be correct.
- To pass, at least 5 of the 6 answers must meet that bar. The certificate says the answers were graded by AI.
