Our mission is to discover the raw materials needed to create a prosperous world for the next 1000 years.
With modern software and hardware, we aim to reduce mineral discovery timelines from 10 years to 1 year.
Founded in 2023 by lifelong geoscientists, Explore Tech is a venture-backed business that develops technology and uses it to explore for minerals all over the world.
We’re accelerating the pace of mineral discovery.
Our AI drill targeting software has gone 8 for 8 hitting mineralized targets compared to industry-standards of 1 in 10.We are now making the product bullet-proof for enterprise deployment so we can scale up mineral discovery at a global this role, you’ll lead the transition from an early product with traction into a product used by the biggest mining companies in the world to discover new minerals.
