Terra AI is revolutionizing mineral and reservoir exploration with the world's most intelligent AI platform. The company works with top explorers, using patented AI to characterize deposits, model uncertainty, and optimize drill planning - delivering a 40% reduction in drilling campaign time and cost while achieving 90% more accurate initial targeting under cover. With over $100 million in investment secured for partners, Terra AI is addressing critical challenges where only 1 in 1,000 exploration projects succeed and average timelines stretch to 17 years.

Backed by Khosla Ventures, Rio Tinto, and Climate Capital, Terra AI brings advanced techniques in generative AI, foundation modeling, and autonomous decision optimization to geosciences. The platform fuses all exploration data into coherent multi-dimensional models, generates millions of custom simulations, and optimizes drill targeting to reduce uncertainty. This technology helps identify critical resource deposits more reliably, measure and characterize them more rapidly, and design more efficient and sustainable production plans for the clean energy transition.
