EQUIVEST MISSION
Improve exploration success rates
Meeting growing demand for battery metals relies on successful exploration. Historically, the mining industry has had low success rates, with only 1 in 1000 projects becoming a mine.
To follow on the misson to improve exploration success rates, we're implementing these strategies:
1. We built proprietary Exploration Data Platform, which improves and accelarates how we do exploration.
2. We strategically invest in battery metals explorers and embrace new technologies in the sector.
3. We empower investors with educational content through social media and the "Geology 101 for Investors" online course.
We are explorers at heart
OUR TEAM
At Equivest, our passionate team of explorers unlocks value through data. With expertise in geoscience, exploration, M&A in the natural resource sector, data science, and machine learning, we offer a unique blend of skills.
