A system and method of identifying potential areas for mineral extraction is disclosed. The proposed systems and methods describe an autonomous mineral discovery platform that leverages robotics, X-Ray Florescence (XRF) technology, image analytics, smart devices, and IoT enabled devices to perform comprehensive field surveying and exploratory sampling. For example, by implementation of remote navigation and control, as well as field data capture and real-time data transmission capabilities, this platform can be configured to automatically identify rock types and their surface features and perform elemental composition analysis of surface while on-site and remote from the operator site.
