Ua hana ʻo BHP (ASX, LON, NYSE: BHP) i kahi kuʻikahi e hoʻohana i nā mea hana akamai i hoʻomohala ʻia e KoBold Metals, kahi hoʻomaka i kākoʻo ʻia e ka hui ʻana o nā piliona kālā me Bill Gates lāua ʻo Jeff Bezos, e ʻimi i nā mea koʻikoʻi i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaʻa uila. (EV) a me nā ʻenehana ikehu maʻemaʻe.
ʻO ka mea miner nui loa o ka honua a me ka ʻoihana ʻenehana ma Silicon Valley e hui pū me ka ʻimi ʻana me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana hoʻoili ʻikepili e kōkua i ka wānana i kahi o nā metala e like me ka cobalt, nickel a me ke keleawe, e hoʻomaka ana ma Western Australia.
E kōkua ka hui ʻana i ka BHP e ʻike hou aku i nā waiwai "e kū ana i ka wā e hiki mai ana" āna i hoʻohiki ai e kālele ana, ʻoiai e hāʻawi ana iā KoBold i kahi manawa e komo ai i nā ʻikepili ʻimi i kūkulu ʻia e ka pilikua mining i nā makahiki he mau makahiki.
"Ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa, ua ʻike nui ʻia nā waihona o ka pāpaʻu, a ʻoi aku ka hohonu o nā kumuwaiwai i koe a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka ʻike ʻana mai ka ʻili," wahi a Keenan Jennings, ka pelekikena hope ma BHP Metals Exploration, i loko o kahi ʻōlelo."E hoʻohui kēia kuʻikahi i ka ʻikepili mōʻaukala, ka ʻike artificial, a me ka ʻike geoscience e wehe i nā mea i hūnā ʻia ma mua."
ʻO KoBold, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma 2018, helu ʻia ma waena o kāna mau mea kākoʻo i nā inoa nui e like me Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz aʻO Breakthrough Energy Ventures.Hoʻokumu kālā ʻia ka mea hope e nā piliona piliona e like me Microsoft's Bill Gates, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Bloomberg founder Michael Bloomberg, American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, and Virgin Group's founder Richard Branson.
ʻAʻole he miner
ʻO KoBold, e like me kāna luna nui ʻo Kurt House i ʻōlelo ai i nā manawa he nui, ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo e lilo i mea hana mine "mau."
ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana o ka hui no nā metala pākaukauhoʻomaka i ka makahiki i hala ma Kanada,ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kuleana i kahi ʻāpana ma kahi o 1,000 square km (386 sq. mile) ma ka ʻākau o Quebec, aia ma ka hema o Glencore's Raglan nickel mine.
Loaʻa iā ia i kēia manawa he ʻumikūmālua mau waiwai ʻimi ma nā wahi e like me Zambia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Ontario, a me Western Australia, i loaʻa mai nā ʻoihana hui like me ka BHP.ʻO ka helu maʻamau o ia mau waiwai aia i loko a i manaʻo ʻia he kumu ia o nā metala pākaukau.
I ka mahina i hala aku neiua kakau i ka aelike huime BlueJay Mining (LON: JAY) e makaikai i na minelala ma Greenland.
Manaʻo ka paʻa e hana i "Google Maps" o ka ʻōpala o ka Honua, me ka manaʻo kūikawā i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā waihona kobalt.E hōʻiliʻili a hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā kahawai he nui o ka ʻikepili - mai nā hopena wili kahiko a i nā kiʻi satellite - e hoʻomaopopo pono i kahi e loaʻa ai nā waihona hou.
ʻO nā algorithm i hoʻopili ʻia i ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e hoʻoholo i nā ʻano hoʻohālike e hōʻike ana i kahi waiho ʻana o ka cobalt, hiki ke kū maoli me ka nickel a me ke keleawe.
Hiki i ka ʻenehana ke ʻimi i nā kumuwaiwai i pale aku i ka poʻe kālaihonua noʻonoʻo kuʻuna a hiki ke kōkua i nā miners e hoʻoholo i kahi e loaʻa ai ka ʻāina a me ka wili, wahi a ka hui.
