Jeff Phillips: How AI Could Reshape Mineral Exploration

Jeff Phillips, Co-Founder and VP of Business Development at Geomorphic AI, joins Andy Millette to discuss opportunity across junior mining stocks, prospect generators, royalty companies, and AI-assisted mineral exploration. Jeff explains why summer weakness can create attractive entry points in well-funded resource companies and shares his views on Bravo Mining, Aldebaran Resources, Revival Gold, Latin Metals, Headwater Gold, Kincora Copper, and Empress Royalty. He breaks down the prospect generator model, where partners fund exploration while the generator retains project interests or royalties. The conversation then turns to Geomorphic AI and how specialized geoscience agents can analyze large public and private datasets, accelerate technical work, uncover overlooked historical information, and help mining teams prioritize exploration. Jeff also explains why experienced people, fieldwork, and boots on the ground remain essential even as AI compresses months of work into days.
