It was announced on June 9, 2026, that Eramet, the French mining and metallurgical group specializing in the extraction and processing of strategic metals, Lithosquare, the Paris-based technology company pioneering augmented mineral exploration through artificial intelligence, and the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM), the French national geological service, announce the signing of a framework partnership agreement.
Together, the three partners aim to create a unique model in Europe combining scientific excellence, artificial intelligence, and mineral exploration and mining expertise to accelerate the identification of new critical metal resources.
Faced with the increasing global demand for critical metals, and in a context where world-class deposits are becoming increasingly rare, the Eramet group is relying on technological innovation, scientific excellence, and cooperation within the French mining ecosystem to identify new high-potential deposits.
Through this partnership framework agreement, Eramet, Lithosquare, and BRGM plan to combine their recent and historical geological data, the predictive capabilities of artificial intelligence, and the field expertise of their teams of geologists.
