About

Atana Elements is a Houston-based critical minerals exploration company that finds and develops flowing subsurface mineral systems — lithium brines, copper, uranium, hydrogen and helium — in Western-aligned jurisdictions. It pairs proprietary geological databases with AI, machine learning and geospatial data science, applying oil-and-gas subsurface methods to mineral exploration, and says it can complete exploration in about 22 months against an industry norm of five to ten years. The company has licensed positions estimated to hold more than 100 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent across the EU and the Americas, and closed a $27.5M seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital in June 2026.

Proprietary geological databases plus custom AI exploration tooling that de-risk mineral targets in roughly 22 months instead of the five to ten years legacy explorers take, run by a team that previously discovered and divested a top-10 global lithium brine asset.

Product

Critical mineral asset discovery and development

Mineral exploration and resource development

Atana acquires and explores subsurface flowing-mineral assets — lithium brines, hydrogen, helium, and emerging extraction targets in copper and uranium — using its own geological databases and AI-based targeting tools, then appraises and develops or divests the resulting resource positions.

  • Proprietary global database of subsurface flowing-mineral assets built over six years
  • AI, machine learning and geospatial data science for target identification and de-risking
  • Oil-and-gas subsurface techniques applied to lithium brine, hydrogen and helium systems

Built for

Capital providers, mining and energy operators, and governments seeking secure critical mineral supply in Western-aligned jurisdictions
