Abstract
The mining industry has been traditionally dominated by large companies that depend on the discovery of ‘world class’ mineral deposits. In recent decades, however, such discoveries have become increasingly rare, as mineral exploration activities yield a greater fraction of small and medium-size deposits. Small-scale deposits have been exploited by millions of artisanal miners in developing countries using rudimentary methods. Artisanal mining can bring significant economic benefits to local populations, while also creating negative social and environmental impacts. This essay discusses the uncertain future of large mineral deposits, and proposes a scenario where the future of metal supply involves mining small deposits using sophisticated techniques. The co-existence of small- to medium-size conventional mining companies with artisanal miners has been observed in various Latin American countries, creating improved oversight and efficiency, while decreasing pollution and social impacts.

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
