Game Changers in the Mining Industry Join TOOL
Meet, Vulcan Energy Resources (VER) and Kuniko - two disruptive, players in the mining industry that can be found on our global map. Both will be facilitating a completely emission free mining exploitation process from A-Z to deliver sustainably sourced metals for the European battery industry. 
 
While VER will focus on lithium in the Rhine valley, Kuniko focus on cobalt, nickel and copper in the Nordics.

Vulcan Energy Resources ⚡ is aiming to decarbonise the transition to electric mobility by producing the world's first Zero Carbon Lithium for electric vehicle batteries.  The way the metal Lithium has been produced up to now yields an excessive carbon and water footprint.

Kuniko, a spinout of Vulcan Energy Resources, targets Cobalt, Nickel and Copper, three fundamental metals for electromobility.  They are 100% committed to an electrified net ZERO CARBON production process.

Did you know: the Kuniko stock exploded on its debut in the Australian Stock Exchange

Birgit Liodden, TOOL's Founder and Chief Mermaid, is the Chair of the Board of Directors for Kuniko Norway! Here's what she has to say:


"These companies mark a disruptive game changer for an industry known to be dirty and associated with terrible performance on environmental impact and human rights."
 

TOOL Joins Exclusive ScaleUp Program 
TOOL participates in the FAUNA Experiment in good company. Here with Seas of Norway // Packoorang As // Trefadder // TotalCtrl // Healthy EATS // Empower // Surplusmap

The Fauna Experiment is a philanthropic circular funding initiative by Siv & Tore Gjedebo (formerly Hitec Vision).

Our chief mermaid comments on the value of joining the FAUNA Experiment:

 

"In a time where we are finally preparing for including external investors and scaling up, joining this program is perfect for TOOL."



It´s greatly valuable for TOOL to have the support of passionate and resourceful people like Tore Gjedebo through the FAUNA Experiment.
