Among the most promising results of the project were: GEOSIS, an information system tailored to the needs of the expert geo-scientist, providing support through all the stages of Nickel exploration, ANNGIE: A prototype software tool, developed to help automate the classification of lithological regions, the identification of mineral alteration zones and the detection of geological lineaments from multisource data. GEOES: A prototype software tool, developed to incorporate in a software module the knowledge of expert geo-scientists concerning the Ni exploration process, in order to make their work more efficient and reduce cost.
