All our It combinesavailable public and private datasets including geophysical, drillhole and surface data. The algorithms used by Windfall are designed tohighlight areas of interest that have the potential to be geologicallysimilar to other gold, copper, Nickel and Zinc deposits/mines in thesame geological context.

Michel Fontaine Interim Chairman, CEOand President of Windfall Geotek states: “When we began in 2005, talking aboutalgorithms, datamining, scoring engine, data driven approach, allthese terms were just not familiar to everyone. My nickname wasBlackbox. After 20 years working with our AI system, I can telleverybody, if you trust your data, you must trust our AI data drivenapproach. Our approach is faster (takes 10-15 days to run our AISystem and generate targets), Greener (we reduce the size of yourproject than 98-99%) and cost-effective solutions because our rates ofsuccess in the past was more than 70% when clients were serious towork on our targets. We used our team of geologists only 4 times toexplore on the targets we have defined for our clients and they found3 times something very interesting. Our Approach have done more than37 client’s discoveries. Our best client’s success began in 2005with the discovery of kimberlites in Brazil, the Noront’s discoveryin the ring of Fire in 2007(Diagnos stock went at $1.03), Metanor(Bachelor), Falco (2018) Canada Nickel (2019). Unfortunately, theCanada Nickel discovery announced in March 2019 was our lastvalidation done by a client.

I decided to come back to leadWindfall helped with the experience of Marcel Robillard as aGeologist, and Mario Drolet specialist as a Marketing. These twodirectors will help me with this new approach. It is time to provethis AI data driven Approach by exploring/working 10 of our targetsgenerated by our AI System.  We will continue to offer our servicesin the same time. We just want to show how this AI System iseffective. We are talking about R&D here. Our clients invested alot of money in data. By taking this approach, 100% of this data willwork. Time to build value for our shareholders and clients with thisnew business plan. In the last months, we have done many internalworks by using public data available in Canada and Australia. Morenews to come to explain our strategy. Last thing, for the Landminedetection, we restarted some tests right now. More we will know how towork with these drones’ data and more we will use this knowledge inthe mining.”.
