About these figures
Country, daily-user, image and experience figures are as published by RadSherpa on radsherpa.com (home, About and Team pages, reviewed 28 September 2026). They describe RadSherpa's medical imaging platform, not mining deployments. Mining applications on this site are proposed extensions of the same techniques.
From the scan room to the mine
The same eyes that find a tumor
can find an ore body.
Medical imaging AI is trained to find something small and faint inside a huge, noisy image, measure it, track it over time and flag it for a specialist before it becomes a crisis. That is exactly the job in mining.
MEDICINE
A tumor on a CT scan
A few millimetres of abnormal tissue hidden among millions of pixels.
MINING
A rare-earth or critical-mineral target
A faint alteration signature in satellite and hyperspectral imagery across thousands of square kilometres.
MEDICINE
A hairline fracture on an X-ray
The thin line a tired eye misses and a trained model flags.
MINING
Fractures in pit walls and tunnel roofs
Cracks and joint sets in drone imagery, found before a wedge or slab lets go.
MEDICINE
Tumor volume and growth
Segment it, measure it in 3D, compare it with the last scan.
MINING
Deposit, stockpile and grade quantification
Drone photogrammetry, LiDAR and spectral mapping turn a target into tonnes, volumes and grade zones.
MEDICINE
Follow-up scans
Is it growing? Did treatment work? Change detection answers.
MINING
Repeat drone flights and InSAR
Millimetre-scale ground movement and new cracking around slopes, dams and tailings — caught early.

Live demo · Fracture detection
One algorithm.
A bone or a bench wall.
Pick an image and run detection. The same filter traces a hairline fracture on an X-ray and open cracks in a pit wall, then measures each one — right here in your browser.
About this data
Images are synthetic and generated in your browser, so detections can be scored against a known answer. Detection runs live using a multi-scale ridge filter, the classical building block of fracture and vessel detection in medical imaging, as a stand-in for RadSherpa's trained models. Risk flags are prompts for geotechnical review, not stability assessments.
Government · Defense · Public safety
Underground. No GPS. No second chances.
Send the drone first.
Mines, tunnels and underground facilities are dark, unmapped and unstable. RadSherpa turns drone and sensor data into the same kind of read a trauma team gets from a CT scan: what is there, what is broken, and where the people are.

Find people fast
Thermal and visual detection locates trapped or missing workers after a collapse, fire or flood, so rescue teams know where to go before they go in.
Like finding a noduleMSN-03
Judge if it will hold
Fracture, roof-sag and deformation detection flags unstable ground in tunnels, shafts and portals, and compares each flight with the last.

What RadSherpa does
Find. Quantify. Protect.
From orbit to the rock face.
Six jobs, one imaging brain. Each one borrows a proven technique from medicine.
Find & quantify · Satellite + drone
Screen from orbit like a scan.
Confirm and measure by drone.
Satellites screen whole regions for mineral, water and vegetation signals. Drones zoom into the targets at centimetre scale. MineSherpa is designed to fuse both with field samples into one evidence trail.

01
Satellite screening
Multispectral and hyperspectral scenes flag alteration minerals, vegetation stress, surface water and land change across whole districts.
02
Radar & change detection
SAR sees through cloud and at night; InSAR time series can reveal millimetre-scale ground movement around pits, dams and tailings.
03
Drone targeting
Photogrammetry, LiDAR, multispectral and thermal payloads map shortlisted areas at centimetre resolution, including terrain under vegetation.
04
Ground truth
Every anomaly is tied to sample IDs, coordinates and accredited laboratory assays. Spectral signals are leads, never grades.

About this data
Proposed capability. The viewer is procedurally generated artwork; no satellite or drone data is connected and no site has been analyzed. Resolution figures are typical published ranges for public missions and commercial drone payloads. Remote-sensing signals require field sampling, laboratory assays and qualified review before any resource, safety or investment conclusion.
Find the problem before it happens
Safer. Lower cost.
More profitable.
Early detection pays three ways: fewer incidents and stoppages, fewer wasted drill holes, and less time spent on manual inspection. Put in your own numbers.
About this data
The starting values are example inputs, not benchmarks or promises. Replace them with your operation's figures. Results are simple arithmetic on your assumptions and exclude program costs.
The founder
A physician’s eye.
For the ground beneath us.
Dr. Pradeep Albert is a board-certified radiologist with more than 20 years in medical imaging. He founded RadSherpa to help radiologists read faster and more accurately. Radiology and mineral exploration solve the same problem: find subtle anomalies in noisy, multi-channel images, measure them honestly and route them to a specialist. RadSherpa now brings that discipline to mining.

EXAMPLE ANSWERWho controls the world's antimony supply, and where could new supply come from?
China, Russia and Tajikistan dominate.
USGS estimates 2025 world mine production at about 110,000 t, with China at 40,000 t, Russia 32,000 t and Tajikistan 22,000 t. U.S. net import reliance is 91%.

About this data
Operations are compiled from public sources (company sites, filings, Wikipedia, USGS MRDS, OpenStreetMap); each profile lists its sources, the date of ownership information and how precise its map point is. Earthquakes are live from the USGS M4.5+ weekly feed. The antimony case-study layer is labelled separately. No ownership, partnership or endorsement is implied.

About this data
Shares are calculated from USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 estimates for 2025 (uranium: World Nuclear Association, 2024). Lithium and antimony world totals exclude withheld U.S. production. PGMs show platinum. Mine production only; refining is often more concentrated. Click a row for the full profile and sources.

the interpretation.
Keep a dated claim from becoming an unsupported conclusion.
DATED CONTEXTBolivia production: attach a date, not a live-data label+
CleanTech’s April 2025 release cites roughly 3,000 tonnes per year and 3.6% of global production. These are dated, company-cited figures, not a verified current USGS estimate. A like-for-like year and denominator should be confirmed before updating a national production statistic.
CLAIM NOT SUBSTANTIATEDUAMY: sourcing is different from owning a processing plant+
UAMY’s filing for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 describes antimony processing in Montana and Mexico. The reviewed filing does not substantiate the supplied claim of a UAMY-owned hydrometallurgical facility in Bolivia. Do not publish that facility claim as established fact.
SCOPE LIMITColombia: an evidence gap is not proof of zero production+
This review establishes neither a commercial Colombian antimony mine nor a national zero-production estimate. Minastyc is retained as broader critical-minerals context; it should not be relabeled an antimony producer without mineral-specific evidence.
Proposed drone + AI workflow
From imaging to an evidence trail.
01
Capture & register
Proposed scope: align drone imagery, survey control and an authorized site boundary in one coordinate system. Keep sensor, date and processing records with each layer.
02
Link imagery to evidence
Proposed scope: attach sample IDs, laboratory results and field observations to candidate features. Do not convert a color anomaly into a verified antimony grade.
03
Review before decisions
Proposed scope: separate observed changes from model interpretations, document uncertainty and route geological or engineering conclusions to qualified reviewers.
No site imagery has been analyzed for these profiles. No grade, stockpile volume, slope safety or operational decision is certified by this preview.
