Abstract
The minerals system approach is based on concepts that have been largely germinating for the past 20 years but are now becoming a major component of efforts to rejuvenate minerals exploration into the next decade. Geophysical mapping will take on a far more critical role in this effort as it offers very often the most cost effective means to explore the subsurface, especially when the overlying rocks are unrelated to the targets at depth.This review will examine what might be called the ‘state-of-play’ in how geophysics is currently being used to start to build an understanding of what mineral systems look like in the real world. While much remains to be done, there is encouragement in what has been achieved to date, although most of it typically without the benefit that the overarching concept of developing a mineral system model.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
