Digital Twins for Optimization of Critical Minerals Deposit Discovery & Explorationto close their Supply Gap to enable the Energy Transition worldwide The Energy Transition is dependent on a wide range of critical minerals. The average Electric Vehicle battery contains ~150 kg and ~$5,000 of these critical materials and rare earth elements. Known supply of critical minerals will fall dramatically short of demand, even assuming 100% recycling, creating a $ 15 trillion opportunity. LATAM is the next Critical Minerals commodity superpower for the energy transition. The problem is Eroom's law of mining exploration. Current state of mineral deposit discovery problem: only 1/1000 sites studied turn into a feasible mine. Future State: Digital Twins for Discovery & Exploration Optimization from whole countries & regions to individual mine deposits.
