Explainable Machine Learning in Mineral Prospectivity Mapping: A Critical Review of Methods, Geological Knowledge Embedding, Validation, and Future Directions

Mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) increasingly integrates geological, geochemical, geophysical, remote-sensing, and structural evidence through machine-learning workflows. Predictive accuracy alone, however, does not establish that a prospectivity map is geologically credible or useful for exploration decisions. This...
