Satellite exploration screening across Africa

Discover high-value mineral targets

Madini is a satellite-based mineral prospectivity mapping platform for Africa. We transform satellite imagery, elevation data and deposit-model weighting into ranked exploration targets for gold, copper, lithium, and silver, so your field team knows where to look first.

What you get

From raw data to exploration targets

Built on peer-reviewed methods, fully reproducible, and documented end to end so you can check every step.

Satellites at Your Fingertips

Satellites at Your Fingertips

Sentinel-2, ASTER, EMIT hyperspectral and elevation data — all fused into one analysis without you lifting a finger.

See What the Eye Cannot

See What the Eye Cannot

Iron oxide, hydroxyl, sericite, and chlorite mapped from orbit — revealing alteration signatures invisible on the ground.

Built on How Geologists Read Ground

Deposit-model weights encode what a geologist looks for — every evidence layer weighted by deposit type, then combined by weighted linear combination and fuzzy logic.

Targets, Ranked for You

Targets, Ranked for You

Prioritised exploration targets, PDF reports, GeoTIFF rasters, and GeoJSON polygons — ready for your GIS or stakeholders.

Simple process

How it works

Define Your Region

Define Your Region

We only need a few coordinates. Draw a polygon anywhere in Africa or select from saved locations. Choose your target minerals and configure analysis parameters.

We Run the Satellite Analysis

We Run the Satellite Analysis

Sit back while our pipeline ingests satellite imagery, maps surface alteration, measures terrain structure, and weights every layer by deposit model — all automatically.

Explore & Export in 3D

Explore & Export in 3D

Explore your results on an interactive 3D map, download ranked targets, and share publication-ready reports with your team.

Multiple commodities

One analysis, multiple minerals

Select one or more minerals and run a single analysis. Each commodity uses its own deposit model — no generic one-size-fits-all.

Au

Gold

6 models

The dominant target across East and West Africa — from orogenic shear zones to epithermal systems.

Orogenic, Epithermal HS/LS, Supergene, Intrusion-related, Porphyry

Cu

Copper

7 models

Porphyry to sediment-hosted — covering the full spectrum of copper deposit types.

Porphyry (2 variants), IOCG, VMS, SEDEX, Skarn, Manto

Li

Lithium

2 models

Critical mineral for the energy transition — hard-rock pegmatite and sedimentary clay deposits.

Pegmatite, Sedimentary clay

Ag

Silver

6 models

Often co-occurring with gold and base metals — epithermal and polymetallic vein systems.

Epithermal Ag, Epithermal HS/LS, Polymetallic, CRD, VMS

More minerals coming soon — including nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements.

Why Madini

Your benefits using madini

Peer-Reviewed Methods

Built on decades of published research — Rowan (1977), Ninomiya (2003), USGS spectral library. Every algorithm traceable to peer-reviewed literature.

Days, Not Months

What takes consultants weeks of manual GIS work, Madini delivers in days — at a fraction of the cost.

Geophysicist-Reviewed

Every analysis is reviewed by a professional geophysicist from the Geophysics Department of SolidiFi Mining before your report is signed off and delivered — a review of the work, not a check against drilling or assay results.

Honest About Its Limits

Every target is a screening rank within the area you submitted — not a calibrated probability, and not field-validated. Each one ships carrying that caveat.

Fits right in

Built for your workflow

Madini doesn't replace your process — it accelerates it. Results are delivered in formats your team already uses, ready to plug into your existing tools and reporting.

Drop Into Your GIS

GeoTIFF rasters and GeoJSON polygons load directly into QGIS, ArcGIS, or any standard GIS platform.

Plan Your Fieldwork

Ranked targets with coordinates and contributing factors — a screening shortlist for your field team, not a statement about what is in the ground.

Overlay Your Own Data

Combine Madini results with your proprietary geology, geochemistry, or drilling data in the interactive 3D viewer.

Share With Stakeholders

Publication-ready PDF reports with maps, methodology, and target rankings — hand them straight to investors or JV partners.
