- The U.S. is pushing for increased critical mineral production through expert roundtables, DOE grants for recycling, and educational support.
- The administration is reviewing how domestic production and industry input can support the national supply chain through the Department of Energy.
DOE Funds AI Project to Boost Domestic Critical Mineral Mining
What happened
The Department of Energy selected the Mining Autonomous Platform for Prospecting and Ore Discovery (MAP-POD) project for funding under its Mine of the Future Initiative. Exyn Technologies is part of a national laboratory-led team supporting MAP-POD, contributing ExynAI-powered navigation for ground vehicle autonomy in underground mining. This initiative was selected to accelerate innovative technologies that expand America’s domestic mining capabilities.
