Who we are:
VerAI Discoveries is committed to accelerating the global zero-carbon transformation by discovering the minerals essential for our sustainable future. In the last two decades, the minerals exploration industry has underperformed with a very low rate of discovery success, failing to supply the massive demand for these critical commodities. At VerAI, we are devoted to overcoming this complex and difficult multibillion-dollar-prize challenge, by deploying an innovative Artificial Intelligence Targeting Platform that detects concealed mineral deposits in various jurisdictions, while systematically improving the probabilities of success and shortening the time to discovery. The world awaits a revolutionary change, and the unique conditions we have created for success allow VerAI to lead a vital paradigm shift in the way mineral discoveries are made.
VerAI is funded by several strategic investors, including T Rowe Price, Orion Resources Partners, and two international venture capital groups: Chrysalix Capital, which specializes in transformation industrial innovation, including mining and its direct contribution to the global Clean Energy transition; and Blumberg Capital, which brings extensive experience in successfully applying AI solutions to different verticals and industries.
