Eka Ventures Backs MINML from Its Second Fund
MINML is one of the first public investments from Eka Ventures' second fund.
Eka Ventures, the UK impact investor, has named MINML among the six public investments from its second fund. Eka first invested in MINML in the first quarter of 2026.
MINML is also backed by Amadeus Capital Partners, Portfolio Ventures, Cambridge Enterprise and Geoenergy Durham. Their backing funds the platform, a growing geology and machine learning team, and MINML's own targets in the ground.
Why Eka invested
Securing the critical mineral supply chain is one of the most important commercial and environmental objectives of the next decade.
Jon Coker of Eka Ventures said: "Securing the critical mineral supply chain is one of the most important commercial and environmental objectives of the next decade. AI is going to be critical for that, but it will need to be explainable and backed by geoscience. That is what the MINML team is building. Their combination of deep geoscience and data science expertise, alongside an incredible work ethic, is why we are so excited to lead their investment round."
