About this award
The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a Cooperative Agreement of $7,142,089 to Kobold Metals Company on July 31, 2026, under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy program (CFDA 81.135). The award funds MIDAS (Muon Imaging and Distributed Acoustic Sensing), a technology designed to accelerate resource definition by collecting more information per drillhole and directly mapping mineral resources in three dimensions. The approach reduces the total number of boreholes required, corresponding costs, and time to resource characterization by accurately filling in resource models between drill holes. Performance runs through July 30, 2029, with work conducted in Berkeley, California.
Description
New award: kobold metals company control number: 3592-1707 project title: midas - muon imaging and distributed acoustic sensing kobold metals company proposes to accelerate resource definition, midas collects more information per drillhole, directly mapping the resource in 3D, reducing the total number of holes, corresponding cost, and time to resource characterization. Our aim is to accurately and rigorously fill in a resource model between drill holes.
