The Problem

Six Critical Pain Points Hyperlog Solves

Discovery-to-Production Time
17.9 years
Average from discovery to production grew from 12.7 years (2005-09) to 17.9 years (2020-23). US average is 29 years.
Reduces exploration from 12+ years to 6-8 weeks
🎯
Exploration Success Rate
<1%
Traditional exploration discovers viable deposits less than 1 in 100 attempts.
87%+ discovery rate with direct chemical detection
💰
Drilling Cost
$272-362/m
Diamond drilling costs $100/ft all-in. 10,000m programs cost $2.7-3.6M with no guarantee.
$12,000/km² eliminates 70% speculative drilling
📉
Glencore Cu Production
-40%
Copper down 40% since 2018. Q3 2025 guidance at low end. Must reach 1.6Mt by 2035.
Swarm exploration of El Pachón, MARA, KCC
🔬
Geophysical Inference Limits
~15%
KoBold-style EM surveys detect rock density, not chemistry. 85% false positive rate.
Direct sensing with 10⁸-fold selectivity

🧬 Hyperlogatrine Biosensor

Each sensor contains synthetic metalloproteins engineered for specific ion binding. When target ions contact the sensor, conformational changes trigger UV-Vis fluorescence—unique spectral signatures for each element.

  • Sample Volume50μL per analysis cycle
💧 How Capillary Extraction Works

The probe's microchannels use capillary action to draw soil moisture upward without pumps. Dissolved mineral ions travel with the water to the biosensor chamber. Works in any soil with >5% moisture.

The Science

Hyperlogatrine™: Molecular Recognition at 10⁸-Fold Selectivity

Cu²⁺
Li⁺
Co²⁺
Nd³⁺
1
Ion Capture

Dissolved mineral ions enter the sensor chamber. Hyperlogatrine proteins have engineered binding pockets with precise geometry matching specific ion sizes.

2
Conformational Change

When a target ion binds, the protein undergoes a conformational shift—changing its 3D structure, enabling energy transfer.

3
Fluorescence Emission

UV excitation triggers characteristic fluorescence at specific wavelengths. Cu emits at 450nm, Li at 520nm, Co at 580nm.

4
Quantification

Fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to ion concentration. GeoNeuron™ AI outputs ppm/percentage readings.
