INORE launches to take people out of the pit
INORE Inc. today announced its public launch and the close of its founding round, backed by investors focused on critical-minerals supply and industrial robotics. The company is building autonomous mining systems, vehicle, autonomy stack, and fleet operation as a single integrated program, designed from the ground up without a driver’s seat.
INORE’s flagship platform is a purpose-built autonomous haul unit targeting open-pit copper and lithium operations. Unlike retrofit autonomy added to legacy trucks, the INORE platform eliminates the cab entirely, reducing vehicle mass, lowering centre of gravity, and allowing the power, compute, and sensor suite to be optimised for machine operation rather than human comfort. First field deployment is targeted for a Pilbara site in Q3 2027.
The company’s long-term thesis is that the autonomy stack and vehicle architecture proven in terrestrial hard-rock mining is the most direct development path to off-Earth extraction, beginning with near-side lunar regolith.
“Every seat we remove from a mine is a person we have kept safe and a machine that can run twenty-four hours without a shift change. We are building the equipment that makes that the default.”
