The Future is Metal.

Welcome to the IQT portfolio: Mariana Minerals! The minerals that power our most important technologies depend on fragile, highly concentrated supply chains. Mariana is working to change that. As a software-first company, Mariana pairs deep engineering with a technology-driven approach to developing and operating mineral projects. Their platform unifies project management, mine operations, and refining into a single system built to significantly compress timelines and strengthen supply chains.

Building a mine usually takes a decade, and most of the risk lives in execution. Mariana Minerals built software to take that on, and it's working: a copper mine in Utah restarted within months, a first-of-its-kind lithium facility underway in Texas—and each project makes the next one faster. For the manufacturers that depend on copper and lithium, that means supply they can count on, sooner, from here in the U.S.    Critical minerals are one of the biggest industrial opportunities out there, and we back builders like Mariana who go after the hardest part: actually getting projects built. https://lnkd.in/eic5_YUU
