We're a team of geoscientists, data scientists, and software engineers working to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in the clean energy transition: finding the critical minerals we need. The mining industry has been getting worse at making discoveries - it now takes three times more capital to find 60% fewer deposits compared to 30 years ago. We saw this problem firsthand and realized the traditional approach just wasn't working.
So we built something different. KoBold combines world-class mineral exploration expertise with cutting-edge AI and scientific computing to turn exploration into a repeatable science. We've developed proprietary systems that ingest and organize massive geological datasets, then use predictive models to identify where mineral deposits are most likely to be found. Our teams work together across disciplines - geoscientists, data scientists, hardware engineers, and software developers - to collect better data and make smarter decisions about where to explore. We don't just sell software; we own and operate exploration projects globally, which means our technology gets tested in the real world and keeps improving. Our discovery at Mingomba in Zambia - one of the best copper deposits ever found - shows this approach works.
