      Dear Dzenijak,
      I hope to patent the idea so that I will be able to encourage fundings in this field.

      So the thing I am working on is helping find new mineral/metal resources for Europe using my skills as a geologist/geochemist. One of major things that Ireland/Europe want is to make sure we have access the materials that allow us to transition to a carbon neutral society. A lot of materials used for wind turbines, solar panels, and other new technologies needs specific types of metals. These metals are scarce so we have to continually finding new resources. Ideally we want to find them in Europe because we have really good environmental standards so we can extract them in a clean and sustainable fashion.
