The "Exploration Information System" (EIS) project, funded by the European Union (EU) Horizon Europe research and innovation-funding programme, aims to discover new sources of critical primary raw materials within the EU. The EIS project promotes a hybrid approach that utilizes mineral systems modelling as the foundation for mineral prospectivity modelling. A crucial component of the EIS is a library of geological fingerprints representing diverse types of mineral systems. These fingerprints are used to identify the most relevant mapable geoscientific features essential for successful prospectivity analysis. The project focuses on three mineral systems as case studies: cobalt minerals in volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) systems, lithium-tin-tantalum-tungsten minerals in granite/pegmatite-related systems, and rare earths-cobalt minerals in iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) systems. Selected mineral deposits within the partner countries of the EU serve as study or test sites, and reference sites in South Africa and Brazil, specifically the Li-bearing pegmatite in the Orange River Pegmatite Belt and the Carajás IOCG province, provide additional insights.
