Hades

Hades Mining is pioneering a new era of subsurface access with novel laser-based, contactless drilling technology that enables ultra-deep, high-speed penetration of hard rock beyond the limits of conventional mechanical systems. By combining photonics, plasma physics and advanced engineering, the company aims to cut drilling costs in hard rock by up to tenfold and unlock geothermal energy and critical raw materials more efficiently and sustainably, strengthening Europe’s energy security and industrial resilience.
