MEIA is looking for an Energy Executive in Residence (EEIR) to assist with commercializing a novel mining technology. This breakthrough aims to make mineral exploration faster, more accurate, and significantly less destructive than traditional methods. Ideal candidates are well-versed in mining and sustainable technologies, understand the mineral exploration and mine closure landscapes, and bring a strong combination of business development and technology commercialization experience.
Canopy Minerals, led by founder Elizabeth Jeffers, uses biominerals in leaves to pinpoint subsurface mineral deposits—revealing the most promising areas to drill and, just as importantly, where not to drill. This nature-based, non-invasive technique has the potential to dramatically reduce the environmental and financial costs of exploration. For mine closure, it offers an efficient and reliable way to monitor remediation efforts.
Canopy Minerals is seeking an EEIR to help translate its scientific breakthrough into a scalable business. The EEIRs will play a critical role in shaping the commercialization strategy, refining the business model, and aligning the technology with broader market needs. Responsibilities will include building a compelling product offering that appeals to a wide range of potential customers and supporting operational and business development decisions involved in launching a tech company in the mining sector. Additionally, the EEIRs will assist in identifying creative strategies to finance key equipment needs and engage with early investors and partners.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals with experience in hard tech, resource innovation, or environmental tech commercialization who are excited to help bring a game-changing solution to market.
