Our mission takes us deep into the forests of the Hokuroku region in Akita, where we target the fascinating Kuroko ore and related sedimentary rocks. To obtain exceptional samples, we venture into the wilderness, navigating through areas where hungry black bears might be lurking.

Embark on an exhilarating field trip through the captivating landscapes of Lake Mono, the Rio Tinto Borate Mine, and Death Valley.

Here, ancient rocks dating back 3.0 to 3.4 billion years boldly emerge. Shielded by hot, dry, and rugged terrain, these geologically precious rocks remain protected from human interference.

Join us as we explore these rugged landscapes and uncover the secrets of Earth's ancient past.
