Esper Satellite Imagery provides hyperspectral satellite imagery for critical mineral exploration. It uses images taken from orbit to map lithium, rare earths and alteration zones, which are areas where rock has been changed in ways that can point to mineral deposits. Its homepage says this approach is faster, cheaper and greener than the alternative.

Why it matters in Australia: Esper is backed by the Australian fund Investible, which first invested in 2025 as part of a Seed round.
