Our company serves as the Greek Pilot Case for two HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-11 projects, focusing on Critical Raw Materials (CRM) and Platinum Group Elements (PGE). We participate as a partner in the grant proposals 'RE-MINE' and 'LITHOS4EU', which have been submitted to the EU funding programme HORIZON, under the topic HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-11: 'Innovative technologies and tools for exploration and data modelling of raw materials (RIA)'.
The Genetic Model
The company’s primary innovation is an Original Genetic Ore Model for podiform chromitites. This model provides a scientific explanation for significant PGE enrichment and millimeter-sized PGM phenomena, which are currently unexplained by mainstream theories. This model acts as the conceptual foundation for the 3D Mineral Model of the Veria Metallic minerals exploration license (AME) for podiform chromitites with high PGE content that we have claimed from the authorities, aiming to unlock overlooked CRM potential across Europe. This synergy between high-resolution multi-sensor data (UAV-LiDAR, pXRF, LIBS, NIR spectroscopy), genetic ore theory, and the 3D mineral model will provide the 'Geological Brain' for the next generation of European exploration tools. Our ambition is to demonstrate that this model can unlock previously overlooked Critical Raw Material (CRM) potential, not only in Greece but across similar ophiolitic complexes in Europe, ensuring a sustainable supply of Platinum Group Elements.
