Ethiopia - Startup under 3 years old

Describe your project or startup in a few words

this project helps to improve the process of mining and obtaining metallic ores its much like x-ray but for ores it lets a person see through dirt and rock and see where the ores are. It saves time, money and man power and is environmentally friendly.

01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

Its a mining tool that lets people see through rocks and dirt think of it like an x ray it provides an image of the ores and their location so we can just go to that location and mine the ore without digging any further this helps to save time , resources, labor and helps to reduce the amount of dust released in to the air. Not just that it helps to protect ecosystems by protecting the habitats of flora and fauna by informing the mining corporation if there are ores or minerals available in a certain area. It helps to make the industry more efficient, more sustainable, and more environmentally friendly and with rising need for lead batteries and semiconductors for transistors could provide supply that for that demand.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Currently when mining companies can't be certain if they will find any minerals in an area and just try to cover as much area as they can leading to more dirt removed and placed somewhere else leading to destruction to the environment and releasing dust in the air. Not to mention the degradation of habitats that displacement of that much land mass causes

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your startup provides (at least 3).

Companies using this tool can scan an area and determine if there are minerals in that area if there isn't they won't waste resources and man power looking for it. This helps save money, resources and conserve the environment leading to more productivity efficiency and helps to reduce the damage done to the environment and making the industry more sustainable.

01.04 Please describe who exactly your startup’s product/service is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

Mainly mining companies who are interested in more productivity and efficiency.

b) Materials (agriculture, fishing, chemical products, construction materials, containers and packaging, metals and mining, paper and forest products)

02.01.01 My startup contributes to the No poverty goal

5

02.01.02 No poverty - Justification for my startup

Mining mostly takes place in less developed countries and an area that has been a mining site will not be suitable for other uses but if companies use this tool the mining site they used is less affected and will be available for the people to make residence at , to farm etc.. leaving them better off.

02.02.01 My startup contributes to the Zero hunger goal

5

02.02.02 Zero hunger - Justification for my startup

The land that was used as mining site is left free for agricultural activities

02.03.01 My startup contributes to the Good health and well-being goal

6

02.03.02 Good health and well-being - Justification for my startup

As I said the mining industry releases a lot of dust into the air but not just that there is also smoke that is released by the heavy machinery it requires to run but with this tool involved in the process less dust is released while moving large amounts of dirt and less smoke released while digging out that dirt leading to a more cleaner air in turn better health for the people near and around the site

02.04.01 My startup contributes to the Quality education goal

02.10.02 Reduced inequalities - Justification for my startup

02.11.01 My startup contributes to the Sustainable cities and communities goal

5

02.11.02 Sustainable cities and communities - Justification for my startup

It leaves land free for other uses including residence and communities after the site has been harvested for its minerals. Which might other wise be unsuitable for living and working discouraging communities and cities to form

02.12.01 My startup contributes to the Responsible consumption and production goal

5

02.12.02 Responsible consumption and production - Justification for my startup

By conserving resources and labor more to extract and processing the minerals instead of of it put into looking for minerals more yield will be grossed and lead to the mining industry being more productive and with the rising demand for raw materials used for making electronics and technology innovations , or building material like steel, auto industry perhaps batteries and such it will benefit not just mining industry but the whole economy as well

02.13.01 My startup contributes to the Climate action goal

6

02.13.02 Climate action - Justification for my startup

It will decrease the amount of smoke released in to the atmosphere because they know where the ores and don't have to dig more than they have to the y will just go to its location and mine it without digging until they find it which means less time heavy machinery is running meaning less smoke released in to the air. There by leading to a better climate and less carbon foot print that the industry leaves behind.

02.14.01 My startup contributes to the Life below water goal

4

02.14.02 Life below water - Justification for my startup

02.15.01 My startup contributes to the Life on land goal

7 - Strongly Agree

02.15.02 Life on land - Justification for my startup

The mining industry right now tends to to degrade the habitats of flora and fauna a like it it strips the land of plants which herbivores animals need to survive and without herbivores there will be no carnivores to prey on those said herbivores leading to the disruption of the food chain and destruction of the ecosystem but with this project less of the land is degraded looking for ores it will minimize the damage done to the animals and their natural habitat. It means the sector will be more enviromentally friendly

06.08 Justification for my startup

No companies that I know of use waves in mining and I know of such product that does so I assume it is novel but it uses phenomenon that has been known for quite sometime and I just changed its use to better suit mining

06.09 Competitive Analysis

If improvements are made on it and made better by other companies they will be our competitors.
