Some discoveries appear isolated.
Others appear distributed along larger pathways.
Resource systems often cluster.
Structural systems often align.
Transition zones frequently repeat.
This paper evaluates discovery corridors as regions where geological opportunities appear preferentially concentrated along persistent Earth-system pathways.
Discovery may not occur randomly across a landscape.
Discovery may preferentially occur along inherited pathways where independent constraints repeatedly converge.
Understanding those corridors may improve exploration efficiency.
