Durin

Autonomous robotic drill rigs for critical mineral exploration

MiningRoboticsMaterials
What they build

The product

Durin builds sensor-rich, semi-autonomous mineral exploration drill rigs that aim to drill 10x faster than legacy 1950s-era manual rigs. Real-time geological data streams from the rig directly to geologists anywhere in the world, accelerating discovery of lithium, rare earths, copper, and other critical minerals.

Why it matters

The thesis

The US has barely upgraded exploration drilling since the 1950s, even as critical minerals became a national-security priority. Durin's robotic rigs target the bottleneck in domestic mineral discovery — without faster exploration, US mining can't onshore.
