# ProspectPulse Deposit Intelligence

> ProspectPulse Deposit Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse-pi.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Retrieves USGS MRDS records and synthesizes recent exploration news for a named mineral deposit or mine, returning grade, status, and recent activity.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://prospectpulse-pi.vercel.app/api/prospect/deposit-intel
- Price: $0.2/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/prospectpulse-deposit-intelligence-f03fc0fc

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability prospectpulse-deposit-intelligence-f03fc0fc
```

Example prompt: Give me the fast deposit intel on the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine — I need the USGS MRDS record, reported ore grade, current development status, and a summary of any recent exploration news for my due-diligence review.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, single-asset due-diligence snapshot combining authoritative USGS MRDS data with recent exploration news — ideal for exploration agents, mining analysts, and investment researchers who need grade, status, and activity for a specific named deposit without running a full regional prospectivity or geochemical analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Deposit name not found in USGS MRDS — returns empty or no-match result
- Ambiguous deposit name matching multiple records — may return incorrect asset
- No recent exploration news available for obscure or early-stage deposits
- USGS MRDS data may be outdated for rapidly evolving projects
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned

## How this service works

Global mineral and resource exploration intelligence. USGS MRDS deposit inventory, geochemical anomaly analysis, satellite scene availability, jurisdiction entry-risk,…

## Output

Returns a structured report combining the USGS MRDS database record for the named deposit (grade, commodity, location, status) with an AI-synthesized summary of recent exploration news and activity, giving a concise due-diligence snapshot of the asset.
