Why Saudi Mining Needs Agentic AI Now

Vision 2030 targets triple mining contribution to GDP by 2030. The geology is there. The geophysicists aren't — yet.

Arabian Shield is under-drilled

Gold, Cu, Zn, bauxite, phosphate, REE. Centuries of known mineralization, modern geophysics only covers a fraction. Every target you delay is a year of expenditure commitment.

Maaden scaling fast

Maaden's exploration portfolio is expanding across Najd, Hijaz, and Asir. New tenements, new surveys — but the same bottleneck: weeks of manual interpretation per dataset.

Local capacity is scarce

Training Saudi geophysicists takes a decade. Tolun AI compresses senior interpretation into minutes — so junior teams can work like seniors, with senior QP sign-off on the final report.

Proven on Analogous Deposit Types

Tolun AI has been validated on deposit archetypes that mirror Saudi geology — VMS, layered mafic, carbonatite REE.

Deployment — Your Data, Your Rules

Three deployment paths. All with the same 13-agent platform.

Tolun Cloud

Run inversions in our managed EU cloud — fastest start, zero IT.

Best for: Exploration managers running quick-look studies.

Recommended for Maaden
Tolun On-Prem (Kingdom)

Deployed inside your SOC. Your data never leaves Saudi Arabia. Aligns with SDAIA / NCA controls for sensitive geophysical IP.

Best for: Maaden, Manara, and sovereign-data mining majors.

Tolun Embedded

Whitelabel our agents into your existing Leapfrog / Oasis / GEOSOFT workflow via API.

Best for: Consultancies with established toolchains.

13 Live Agents. Full roadmap shipped.

Each agent replaces hours of manual exploration work. Together they cover the full workflow from raw survey to QP-signed report.

  • Data ETL — auto-map Oasis, acQuire, GeoJSON, CSV to a canonical schema (Geosoft .gdb/.grd/.plt shipping next week)
  • QC Agent — grade survey quality A-F before it contaminates your inversion
  • Orchestrator — sequences multi-step inversion workflows end-to-end
  • Interpreter — turns posterior densities into geological narrative
  • Drill Advisor — rank targets by confidence, depth, and budget
  • Prospect Scorer — 5-dimension portfolio ranking with DRILL/PARK/DROP verdicts
  • Survey Designer — Nyquist-checked station spacing + cost estimation
  • Core Logging — lithology codes, alteration, mineralization from free-text
  • Tenement Manager — renewal deadlines + expenditure gap per jurisdiction
  • Budget Tracker — drill-program reconciliation with conditional-clause firing
  • Resource Estimator — first-pass grade-tonnage curve with QP caveats
  • Regulatory — NI 43-101 / JORC / SK-1300 disclosure triage
  • Report Writer — QP-ready interpretation reports with uncertainty envelopes

Founding Team

Tolun AI is co-founded by Dr. Fatimah Abdulghafur, PhD, former Principal Geophysicist at Maaden, who managed a $200M geophysics programme budget, holds multiple degrees in geophysics, geology, and geochemistry, and works as a geosciences integrator across Australia, Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and China. And by Dr. Alim Polat, PhD, a Principal LLM Engineer with 10+ years shipping production AI at Handelsbanken and ICON plc. We understand Saudi exploration, Saudi regulation, and Saudi talent — because we live in the region.
