Prospectivity describes the likelihood that a region may warrant further investigation.
Prospectivity is not certainty.
It is prioritization.
This paper evaluates prospectivity through the accumulation of geological constraints, persistence indicators, inheritance relationships, and opportunity-supporting observations.
The strongest prospects frequently emerge where independent observations repeatedly reinforce the same region.
Prospectivity therefore increases through convergence.
