Read full description
The company was founded in 2023 by CEO Charles G. “Chase” Taylor III. Taylor's background includes experience as a U.S. Army Special Forces officer and a venture capital investor at G2 Venture Partners. This combination of military and investment experience informs the company's strategy of addressing national security imperatives through the domestic sourcing of critical minerals.
Mariana Minerals leverages a proprietary software platform to identify and acquire mineral assets with significant potential. This technology-first approach allows for more efficient exploration and development, differentiating it from traditional mining operations. The business model involves acquiring mineral rights and then exploring, developing, and ultimately supplying these minerals to sectors facing supply chain vulnerabilities. The company targets clients in the energy, AI, and defense industries.
