Atomionics detects opportunities to help uncover critical minerals in Australia
A drone squadron flies overhead in formation across a stretch of red dirt near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. The outfit is silently surveying the ground, spinning webs of data with pinpoint accuracy on what lies below: rich veins of copper.It’s Singapore startup Atomionics cutting-edge technology for finding critical minerals; materials that would have previously taken a decade to identify, now only need a fraction of that time to uncover.
