Upcoming DeepBEAT Community Event in Rakovník

06-05-2025

🌲 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.

overview

The project consortium of DeepBEAT aims to develop ground-breaking technologies to use geochemistry for the detection of deepseated land deposits. Transforming Europe's exploration sector by integrating cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices will push Europe towards a climate-neutral and socially responsible economy. The exploration of deep land deposits should employ environmentally friendly, socially acceptable, and ultra-low impact methodologies to ensure the citizens that exploration activities can be conducted responsibly. Acceptance to exploration and mining will be a cornerstone towards cultivating a more resilient and inclusive European society.

project timeline

partners

The DeepBEAT consortium comprises eleven partners representing research institutes, academia, technologically driven SMEs, and industry. These members span across five EU member states, with two partners situated outside the EU. The EU-based partners are strategically located in countries with primary metal-producing regions (Finland, France) and countries with regions which aim to do so (Germany, Czech Republic). The non-EU partner, Queen’s University, Canada, originates from a nation renowned for its robust mining industry background. The company SciAps originates from US and is an important supplier of LIBS and XRF technology for the explorations and research of exploration sector.

Together, the DeepBEAT partners have united their efforts to tackle challenges in mineral exploration for deep land deposits.
