The event featured open discussions that provided an opportunity to listen to community perspectives and address questions related to geological exploration.
🤝Our sincere thanks to GTK and FinnCobalt for organizing the event, to the speakers for their informative contributions, the Polvijärvi School for hosting the event, and to all local participants for their valuable engagement.
Together, we’re fostering dialogue, transparency, and trust in responsible exploration research.

🌍 Exciting progress in the DeepBEAT project!

The Czech Geological Survey, together with Beak Consultants GmbH, has kicked off an ambitious stream-sediment sampling campaign across the Ore Mountains (on the Czech–German border). With around 500 samples planned, the project is already halfway there.

Upcoming DeepBEAT Community Event in Rakovník

🌲 On Monday, May 19, the Czech Geological Survey and the City of Rakovník will hold an informational meeting and public discussion about the international research project DeepBEAT (Deep Exploration Boosted by Advanced Exploration Technologies).

🌍 The event will introduce DeepBEAT’s objectives — to study the formation of critical and strategic raw material deposits in the EU using cutting-edge, low-impact exploration methods such as surface sampling of plants, soil, and rocks. One of the main research areas will be in the HŮRKY region.
💡 Local representatives, associations, and organizations will be informed about the project’s scientific goals, with space for open dialogue and discussion to ensure transparent communication with communities in the region.
🤝We look forward to a constructive exchange and a strong start to this exciting international collaboration.
