# ProspectPulse Mineral Prospectivity Assessment

> ProspectPulse Mineral Prospectivity Assessment is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Ranks the mineral prospectivity of any region by combining USGS MRDS deposit inventory, geochemical anomaly data, and AI geological synthesis to identify what mineral commodities a region is likely to host.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/prospect/mineral-potential
- Price: $0.25/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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-mineral-prospectivity-assessment-665a3499
```

Example prompt: What minerals is the Carlin Trend in Nevada most prospective for? Give me a ranked assessment combining USGS MRDS deposit data and geochemical anomalies with an AI geological synthesis.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a rapid, multi-source mineral prospectivity assessment for a specific region that combines structured USGS data with AI geological reasoning. Prefer this over raw USGS MRDS queries when you want a synthesized, ranked output rather than raw records. Prefer over the geochemical endpoint when you want a holistic prospectivity view rather than just geochemical data interpretation.

## Known failure modes

- Region not recognized or too vague — returns error asking for more precise geographic input
- No USGS MRDS records found for target area — returns low-confidence assessment with limited data
- Geochemical data unavailable for remote regions — partial result with caveat
- API returns 402 if payment header is missing or insufficient
- Overly large bounding box may result in degraded or generic synthesis

## How this service works

Mineral prospectivity assessment for any region, for exploration and geology agents. Combines USGS MRDS deposit inventory, geochemical anomaly data, and AI geological synthesis to rank what a region is likely to host.

## Output

Returns a ranked list of mineral commodities the region is likely to host, supported by USGS MRDS deposit inventory records, geochemical anomaly data, and an AI-generated geological synthesis that explains the prospectivity reasoning and exploration implications.
