🇪🇺 Europe has a subsurface paradox. The same hard rock that traps deep geothermal heat also locks away critical minerals like tungsten and rare earths. Both are essential to energy security, green manufacturing, and credible defence; however, conventional drilling breaks down exactly where access matters most. That’s why Project A is excited to partner with Dr Max Werner, Björn Dressler and Dan Gengenbach at Hades Mining . Their non-contact drilling system unlocks the deep, hard formations that others can’t reach, making geothermal and mineral access technically and economically viable. Read more about why we invested in Hades Mining in our latest entry (link in comments). Thanks to Jannic Meyer for co-authoring this with me. We’ve spent months digging into this challenge 😉
Europe continues to have the lowest domestic extraction of critical minerals of any Industrial Nation on the planet! This needs to change. And Hades is going to do its part. ⚒️
