Important results from the project
The project successfully used PDAC 2026 to present Gosselin Mining AB’s digital field data workflow for mineral exploration, establish international contacts, and identify potential pilot opportunities. Notable outcomes included establishing new connections with junior exploration companies operating in the Nordic region and initiating dialogue with a Finnish geochemical laboratory regarding future data integration.
Expected long term effects
In the long term, the project is expected to bolster the company’s capacity for international collaboration and pilot projects involving digital field data collection, traceability, and QA/QC in mineral exploration. The project may also lead to more modern, efficient exploration workflows and help make the sector more appealing to future talent.
Approach and implementation
The project was largely carried out as planned, with a focus on preparation for PDAC 2026, participation in the conference, and follow-up with relevant contacts. These activities were well-suited to the project´s purpose of internationalization and partner-building. Implementation adhered to the time plan, resulting in market insight and concrete opportunities for continued dialogue on pilot projects and collaboration.
