@s_steinicke @Hades Hell yeah! So good to have you.

Zweite Woche bei @Hades. Besuch im Headquater. Der Laser liefert. Industrielle Stärke beginnt in der Mine. Wir bauen die Technologie dafür. Stay tuned.

@s_steinicke @Hades Welcome to team @Hades @s_steinicke! So excited to have you. So much to build. LFG

Wer bei kritischen Rohstoffen abhängig bleibt, wird auch technologisch abhängig bleiben. Deshalb freue ich mich sehr, seit 01.05. bei @Hades zu arbeiten. Rohstoffförderung ist keine reine Industriefrage mehr. Sie ist eine Technologie- und geopolitische Souveränitätsfrage.

The exact split is no longer disclosed since the German entity was carved out of the 2024 Eni deal. Pre-2024, CIC held 49%. Companies typically list shareholders by stake size. Rarely a coincidence. Independence isn't where you drill. It's who owns the company.

Germany just confirmed 43 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent under the Altmark — one of the world's largest project-based lithium resources. The press calls it independence. The cap table tells a different story. #CriticalMinerals #StrategicAutonomy #Lithium

Die genaue Anteilsverteilung wird seit dem Carve-out aus dem Eni-Deal Anfang 2024 nicht mehr öffentlich ausgewiesen. Vor dem Verkauf war sie es: CIC 49 %, Carlyle 30,6 %, CVC 20,4 %. Dass Unternehmen ihre Gesellschafter in der Regel nach Beteiligungshöhe auflisten, ist keine Garantie — aber selten Zufall. reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2024/0…

Unabhängig wovon @focusonline ? Größter Einzelaktionär von Neptune Energy — der Firma, die auf diesen 43 Mio. Tonnen sitzt — ist mit 49% die China Investment Corporation. Der chinesische Staatsfonds. Strategische Autonomie fängt beim Eigentümer an, nicht beim Bohrloch.

@focusonline Von ihrer eigenen Website: "Wir sind seit 2024 eine eigenständige deutsche Gesellschaft ohne Konzernzugehörigkeit. Unsere Eigentümer sind China Investment Corporation, CVC Capital Partners und The Carlyle Group." neptuneenergy.de/unternehmen/we…

@thePM_001 @Hades Geothermal AND Critical Minerals indeed

@drwerner @Hades Use it for geo-thermal boreholes and solve Germany's energy problems ?

1/ We're hiring at @Hades : a Mechanical Engineer and a Robotics & Sensor Fusion Specialist. Both full time. Munich. Starting immediately. 2/ We're building the most powerful drilling system for resource extraction on the planet. Not a prototype. Not a research project. A real machine that goes in the ground and changes what's economically reachable beneath it. 3/ The team around Björn Dressler and @DanGengenbach is one of the strongest groups of engineers and scientists I've ever worked with. We're adding to it now. 4/ In both roles I'm looking for the same thing: people who think from first principles, who are quietly excellent at their craft, and who get genuinely excited about hard problems other people have given up on. 5/ Builder's environment. Fast, ambitious, no politics, no theatre. If you want a comfortable seat at a big company, this isn't it. If you want to do the best work of your career on something that actually matters, keep reading. 6/ No recruiters. No agencies. Please don't. If you want to be considered, DM me with "I WANT IN" and we'll take it from there.

Not only Zurich has views! Physical AI meetup in Munich, no way you can actually see the slides but a lot of amazing people here!

@itsdannypereira Don't forget Mining @Hades

Unfortunately, it feels like the only mission driven founders left are in manufacturing, defense, and health

No mines, no missiles. No rocks, no rockets. $8bn went into EU defence startups, with only $1bn of that in the supply chain. We are funding the drone while ignoring how critical the magnet is inside it. I wrote about how we could fix it. Link below 👇

@jack_kennedy0 No rocket science without rock science. Thats what we deeply subscribe to @Hades! Time to reroute mining back to the West.

For all our German speaking followers - We just did this incredible podcast at @StartupInsid_er: open.spotify.com/episode/7mYplb… This is probably the deepest we ever talked about @Hades plans for the future of Mining.

@etnshow @Hades EUROPE - ITS TIME TO WAKE UP!

Dr. Max Werner (@drwerner) CEO of Hades Mining (@Hades) shares why Europe importing 100% of the critical minerals it consumes is a big problem: "The vast majority, far above 90%, comes from overseas and the vast majority from China as well...if you have geopolitical shocks... that pretty much leads to...supply chains being disrupted". "For example if you are a large automotive manufacturer hundreds of millions [in] cash". "Now I think a lot of European factories are looking into building more geopolitical stability and hedging against that risk and that's why local production is more interesting". "The local production will be at higher prices, no doubt about that, but it still needs to compete to some level...you can't be like 20 times more expensive otherwise the factory can't produce competitively".

EUROPE!!! We need to talk about critical minerals! No...It can't wait!
