The project, in partnership with IBM, uses IBM's Watson artificial intelligence platform to identify exploration targets at the Ontario mine.

Scientists have found that 4.02 billion year old silica-rich felsic rocks from the Acasta River, Canada — the oldest rock formation known on Earth — probably formed at high temperatures and at a surprisingly shallow depth of the planet's nascent crust.
