Neutron technology that is revolutionizing resource exploration

Our Solution

Voluna delivers a drone-based neutron system that maps subsurface minerals in real time – no rigs, no lab delays.

Deeper Insight

Real-time geochemistry — no waiting on labs or mobilizing drill crews.

Non-Invasive & Safe

Airborne deployment minimizes environmental impact and operational hazards.

AI-Enhanced Targeting

Proprietary AI filters out noise, narrows focus, and slashes false positives.

Next-Gen Neutron Technology

Rethinking subsurface exploration with precision, safety, and speed.

At the heart of Voluna’s platform is our proprietary neutron generator system—engineered for airborne deployment and optimized for mineral discovery. Unlike conventional methods that rely on drilling or surface proxies, our tech provides real-time geochemical data from below the surface, fast and without disruption.

Partnering for impact

Exploration as a Service

Using drone-deployed neutron generators and AI-powered analysis, we deliver high-resolution subsurface insights without the delays, guesswork, or footprint of traditional exploration. Faster data. Smarter decisions. Leaner operations.

Joint Ventures

We collaborate with forward-thinking teams through:

Royalties from successful discoveries

Equity stakes in high-potential exploration ventures
