VANCOUVER, Sept. 16, 2020 - Minerva Intelligence Inc. (TSXV: MVAI) ("Minerva" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence company focused on knowledge engineering, is pleased to announce the signing of its first commercial subscription contract for LEO, the Company's web-based document management software built for the mining and exploration industries, with Orogen Royalties (TSXV: OGN) ("Orogen").
LEO helps organizations manage and find their mining and exploration files by using OCR to digitize files, then indexing, auto-tagging and geotagging the unstructured documents using geology and mining vocabularies optimised for combined researcher and AI applications. LEO then provides search functions in a context designed to enhance multi-disciplinary use of these documents across the organization.
"With LEO, we are able to quickly search through thousands of documents using keywords related to our prospect-generation activities," said Dave Groves, Orogen VP Exploration. "LEO's powerful functionality and ability to work with synonyms is particularly important to our evaluation of large collections of legacy documents. Its automated OCR makes bringing those legacy documents into our library a cinch."
Using LEO, an organization can finally add their legacy files to their current data library and put them to work, allowing the entire library to be searched and reasoned with by geologists in optimal preparation for downstream AI applications.
"We are thrilled to have Orogen as our first client for LEO," said Scott Tillman, Chief Executive Officer of Minerva Intelligence. "Orogen has been a key partner in the beta-testing phase of LEO, and we are gratified that they see the value in such a unique and powerful application."
Mr. Tillman continued, "Most mining and exploration companies have silos of underutilized data, and LEO represents a unique opportunity to finally to crack open their archives to extract valuable insights from their data. Our contract with Orogen further validates our belief that there is a real need and demand for what Minerva solutions are able to offer."
