Lithosquare’s $25M Bet on Fixing Mineral Discovery

The energy transition has a supply problem that starts far upstream: in the discovery of critical minerals like copper, lithium and rare earths. As exploration timelines stretch over years, the pace of decarbonisation will depend on one thing: finding more, faster.

While headlines tend to focus on batteries, gigafactories, and AI infrastructure, a quieter constraint is tightening: the discovery of the raw materials that make them all possible.

Paris-based startup Lithosquare, which has just raised $25 million from World Fund, Kindred Capital, Daphni, and Omnes Capital, is positioning itself at that exact pressure point. Its promise is ambitious: use AI to significantly accelerate the discovery of new mineral deposits.

The question is whether software can meaningfully shift one of the slowest, most uncertain processes in the industrial world.
