So excited to be featured with @Hades in the recent issue of the Mining Outlook. 6 pages. Check. It. Out:

Zweite Woche bei @Hades. Besuch im Headquater. Der Laser liefert. Industrielle Stärke beginnt in der Mine. Wir bauen die Technologie dafür. Stay tuned.

Germany just confirmed 43 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent under the Altmark — one of the world's largest project-based lithium resources. The press calls it independence. The cap table tells a different story. #CriticalMinerals #StrategicAutonomy #Lithium

Unabhängig wovon @focusonline ? Größter Einzelaktionär von Neptune Energy — der Firma, die auf diesen 43 Mio. Tonnen sitzt — ist mit 49% die China Investment Corporation. Der chinesische Staatsfonds. Strategische Autonomie fängt beim Eigentümer an, nicht beim Bohrloch.

1/ We're hiring at @Hades : a Mechanical Engineer and a Robotics & Sensor Fusion Specialist. Both full time. Munich. Starting immediately. 2/ We're building the most powerful drilling system for resource extraction on the planet. Not a prototype. Not a research project. A real machine that goes in the ground and changes what's economically reachable beneath it. 3/ The team around Björn Dressler and @DanGengenbach is one of the strongest groups of engineers and scientists I've ever worked with. We're adding to it now. 4/ In both roles I'm looking for the same thing: people who think from first principles, who are quietly excellent at their craft, and who get genuinely excited about hard problems other people have given up on. 5/ Builder's environment. Fast, ambitious, no politics, no theatre. If you want a comfortable seat at a big company, this isn't it. If you want to do the best work of your career on something that actually matters, keep reading. 6/ No recruiters. No agencies. Please don't. If you want to be considered, DM me with "I WANT IN" and we'll take it from there.

No mines, no missiles. No rocks, no rockets. $8bn went into EU defence startups, with only $1bn of that in the supply chain. We are funding the drone while ignoring how critical the magnet is inside it. I wrote about how we could fix it. Link below 👇

For all our German speaking followers - We just did this incredible podcast at @StartupInsid_er: open.spotify.com/episode/7mY… This is probably the deepest we ever talked about @Hades plans for the future of Mining.

Dr. Max Werner (@drwerner) CEO of Hades Mining (@Hades) shares why Europe importing 100% of the critical minerals it consumes is a big problem: "The vast majority, far above 90%, comes from overseas and the vast majority from China as well...if you have geopolitical shocks... that pretty much leads to...supply chains being disrupted". "For example if you are a large automotive manufacturer hundreds of millions [in] cash". "Now I think a lot of European factories are looking into building more geopolitical stability and hedging against that risk and that's why local production is more interesting". "The local production will be at higher prices, no doubt about that, but it still needs to compete to some level...you can't be like 20 times more expensive otherwise the factory can't produce competitively".

BREAKING: Dr. Max Werner (@drwerner) Co-Founder of Hades Mining (@Hades) joins us live tomorrow at 12:00PM GMT to break down the current state of geothermal energy and critical mineral extraction from the perspective of Hades.

The new hades.com is live. And beyond the technology, there is another message I am especially excited about. We are now actively looking for partners with whom we can develop our first resource extraction and energy projects. If you control geology, projects, licenses, land, data, or strategic access and want to work with @Hades, now is the time. We are building technology first extraction for critical minerals and geothermal and are looking for exceptional partners who want to write history together. More details on the website. Become our partner. hades.com

One of the biggest European opportunities lies beneath us: critical minerals from our own soil. In order to get there we need to drill some deep holes at low costs. And in order to drill some deep holes at low costs we need some Insanely Powerful Lasers :-) Check out hades.com to learn more about our Insanely Powerful Laser Cerberus (IPL Cerberus)! Burn, baby, burn and follow @hades!

hades.com is live. And yes, we are excited. The new site gives the clearest look yet at IPL Cerberus, our laser technology designed to become the fastest drill on the planet. We believe this can fundamentally change the very nature of resource extraction and open a new era for energy and critical minerals. The future is deeper than most people think. hades.com

handelsblatt.com/unternehmen… Wirklich spannender Artikel über neue Bohrtechnologien und ihre Anwendungen in der Geothermie. Vielen Dank an Judith Henke und das @handelsblatt für das interessante Gespräch. Es geht um die Frage, wie wir Zugang zur Tiefe schaffen und was daraus entsteht, wenn dieser Zugang auf einmal besser, günstiger und breiter möglich wird. Energie ist dabei der offensichtlichste Teil. Aber sicher nicht der einzige. Gerade in Europa steckt darin für mich auch etwas Größeres: mehr Unabhängigkeit, mehr industrielle Substanz und vielleicht auch wieder mehr Mut, an echte technische Durchbrüche zu glauben. The race to the deep is on. @Hades wird alles geben.

Hey @PalmerLuckey check this out: you can get a completely new revolutionary way to extract rare minerals for half the price of your house

“Europe will always depend on China for critical minerals.” Wrong! Time to fight back. Today we’re announcing our €15M Seed investment in @Hades. Hades is building insanely powerful lasers to melt holes into earth‘s crust to extract critical minerals from Europe’s own ground. Faster. Cheaper. Sovereign. Let’s turn Sci-Fi into reality. Narrative change incoming 🔥

Proud to announce our €15M Seed round. Europe produces less than five percent of its critical minerals. That has to change. @Hades was created for this mission. Laser drilling is our first step toward a sovereign European extraction capability. Thank you to all investors and partners. We are just getting started. #deeptech #europe #CriticalMinerals

We have raised €15M in our Seed round. Co-led by @HV_Capital and @HeadlineVC with strong support from our existing investors. @Hades is building the world’s first tech enabled Extraction company. Our laser drilling tech will change what is possible in ISR mining and geothermal energy. Europe needs sovereign extraction capability. We are building it. #deeptech #geothermal #criticalminerals #funding
