Finding the Materials of the Future with AI

Reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to avoid catastrophic climate change, requires replacing:

60% of all new light cars and trucks with electric vehicles by 2030; and

100% by 2050.

That means going from 10 million EV’s on the road today to 200 million by 2030 and up to 3 billion by mid-century.

We will need to manufacture billions of EV batteries…

And discover $12 trillion in new EV battery mineral deposits…

EV batteries require cobalt, nickel, copper, and lithium – we’ll need all of the world’s reserves of these metals plus another $12 trillion of new sources.

But they’re not being discovered fast enough

More than 99% of exploration projects fail to become mines, and the industry now spends three times more to make 60% fewer discoveries compared to 30 years ago.

Finding new deposits requires the ability to peer into the Earth’s subsurface in innovative ways.

KoBold:
AI-Powered Discovery

Combines:

World-class geologic experience,
Extensive data collection, and
Powerful AI technology

Partners with

leading mineral resources companies like Rio Tinto and BHP,
private mine owners and junior exploration companies.

Accelerates discovery, and responsible development of previously unknown battery mineral deposits buried deep below the earth’s surface.

KoBold:
How it Works

KoBold has developed two proprietary platforms to power discovery:

TerraShedSM, a comprehensive data system aggregating and structuring more than a century’s worth of data from around the world; and
Machine Prospector^® a library of predictive models that interrogates TerraShedSM to identify previously unknown mineral deposits buried deep below the earth’s surface and dynamically guide where KoBold’s ground and helicopter teams survey, sample, drill, and discover.
