[DORA 2.0] What Is the VRIFY Prospectivity Score (VPS)?

Understanding VPS outputs in DORA 2.0 Prediction Maps

Updated today

Overview

The VRIFY Prospectivity Score (VPS) is a core output of a DORA 2.0 Prediction Map. It represents the model’s predicted likelihood of mineralization across your Area of Interest (AOI), based on your selected inputs.

DORA 2.0 generates both a Surface VPS and a Sub-surface VPS to support targeting at surface and at depth.

The VPS helps geoscientists interpret mineral potential spatially and make more informed, data-driven exploration decisions.


What the VPS Represents

The VPS is a probability score ranging from 0 to 1.0.

Each value reflects how closely a location matches the geological and spatial patterns present in your Learning Data, given your AOI configuration, target element(s), grade thresholds, and input features.

Higher VPS values indicate stronger similarity to known mineralization patterns. Lower values indicate weaker similarity.

A VPS does not confirm mineralization. It highlights areas that may be prospective based on the model’s learned relationships.


Surface VPS

The Surface (2D) VPS highlights prospectivity patterns at surface level across the AOI.

It supports identification of high-potential zones, surface targeting decisions, and comparison with known mineralization.

This view is commonly used for early-stage exploration and surface-focused programs.


Sub-surface VPS

The Sub-surface (3D) VPS evaluates prospectivity below the surface by incorporating depth (Z axis).

It provides insight into subsurface targeting opportunities, depth-based prospectivity trends, and vertical distribution of model signals

This helps identify potential buried targets and understand how prospectivity changes with depth.
