Lunar Resources Registry: An Early Stage Lunar Mining Exploration Company

Welcome to Lunar Resources Registry (LRR). This website is an extensive deep-dive into the ongoing exploration of the Moon. Take your time to go through our core themes listed below or via the menus.

Follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn or Contact Us to keep up to date with our progress.

Explore the Moon with Us…

We build geospatial databases and online maps showing activity on the Moon, including landers, rovers, discarded space hardware, and orbiters, plus the location of Lunar Resources.

Our goal is to understand how and where sustainable Lunar Resources missions for exploration and extraction can be developed.

Lunar Mining: Resources Exploration and Extraction

LRR identifies valuable resources on the Moon using remote sensing data to identify locations rich in resources, such as Platinum Group Metals, Critical Metals, Helium 3 and Water.

Question: Is there a Gold Rush on the Moon?

Answer: If capital is allocated to the right projects, there are profitable business cases for mining the Moon.

The end-markets are on the Moon (e.g. building lunar infrastructure, ISRU), in Space (e.g. CisLunar), and on Earth (e.g. minerals for high-tech supply chains).

LRR plans to co-operate low-cost missions within a decade (e.g. 2030s) to test regolith and confirm resources value per locations.

The business model relies on the decreasing cost of space technology and the increasing scarcity of resources on Earth, making lunar mining commercially viable in the coming years. Read more…

Key Points

• We are an Early Stage Lunar Mining Exploration Company. Read about our progress and operations.
• We have built a Registry for the Exploration and Extraction of Resources from the Moon.
• We focus on finding resources sites that have >$1 Billion value; that value may be on the surface of the Moon for In-situ Resources Utilization (ISRU), in the CisLunar economy, or back on Earth.
• We have extensive expertise in this field, having built proprietary maps for education and governance, a Lunar resources databases, and a Space Resources Legal Framework.
• We have an understanding of the technological supply-chain (most of which is yet to be fully developed and deployed) required to explore and extract resources on the Moon.
• Our future plans include developing low-cost missions to high value resources locations.
• We monitor international missions to the Moon plus develop (in partnerships) our own Mission to the Moon for exploration.

Part of a Growing Industry and Network

Jan-2026 – Lunar Resources Registry Founders Interviewed by Frankfurter Allgemeine – one of Germany’s largest and most respected daily newspapers.

Article: “Bodenschätze auf dem Mond sind ein großes Thema“, translation: “Mineral resources on the moon are a major topic”.

Mar-2025 – A Lunar Resources Registry Map is part of a virtual payload on the Firefly Blue Ghost Mission, thanks to LifeShip, Copernic Space and the Moon Mars Museum. We’ve added it to our online moon map.

Sep-2024 – MOU Signed with Thales Alenia Space’s Space Business Catalyst and Lunar Resources Registry UG. Read more at Lunar Resources Registry on LinkedIn.

Lunar Resources Public Registry UG was funded by Space Ventures Investors Ltd and both founders, and is an Alumnus of the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre Hessen 2023, managed by CESAH.

Strategic Partnerships

Space Resources Network

LRR has partnered with various international companies, geologists, academics and entrepreneurs to build a Space Resources Network.

LRR attends space events, such as:

Now Available! The Lunar Resources Registry Educational Map

Market Intelligence: Current Missions to the Moon

LRR monitors all commercial activity and especially missions to the Moon that have a focus on exploring, extracting and the utilisations of resources.

LRR also has a registry of previous missions to the Moon.

We are Creating the Process for Exploring and Extracting Resources from the Moon

In the last ten years various predictions have been made that Space will spawn the first Trillionaire. See quotes from Neil deGrasse Tyson (NBC), Ted Cruz (Politico) and Peter Diamandis (Daily Mail). Nations and Space Agencies that understand the commercial benefits have been making progress, including creating Space Mining Laws (see U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act), sample-return missions, and increased research.

For decades the value of space resources, from mining the Moon to asteroid mining, has been researched and estimated based on the value of resources delivered and sold in two markets; on Earth and in Space. NASA has emerged as an early buyer of resources from the Moon (Reuters).

At Lunar Resources Registry (LRR) we are building the business of Space Resources: Where exactly on the Moon are the resources of value, how does an entity secure the commercial rights to extracted resources, in order to build a business case and attract investors to conduct the required exploration and extraction operations. From this we have a built a commercially viable product: A Lunar Resources Registration.

Note: A Registration is NOT A CLAIM OR RIGHT TO OWNERSHIP of any part of the Moon.

LRR provides the building blocks for Commercial Resources Operations on the Lunar Surface within a 10 year timeframe. LRR has built a clear and transparent resources registration service and space legal framework that serves as a cornerstone for commercial exploration and extraction operations.

Selected clients can use our service to build realistic Space Resources businesses, missions, and operations.

Use Cases:

Space Debris Lunar Landing Zone – Space Debris Graveyard

Space Debris needs innovative solutions, and ultimately destinations for potentially dangerous debris. A forward-thinking approach is the designation of an area on the Moon’s near-side as a Space Debris Lunar Landing Zone, for planned de-orbiting and potential recycling of spacecraft; satellites, probes, boosters. It is also alternatively named a Space Debris Graveyard.

“The Ear” Concept: Far-Side Radio Telescope and Asteroid Observatory

Nestled in shallow Ear-shaped crater, is a location ideal for a Science based Observatory operation, be it a Radio Telescope or Asteroid Detection.

“The Ear” is a Partnership Science Registration for a proposed research location, created by Lunar Resources Registry and Lunar Station Corporation. The location is on the far-side the Moon, where the planned observatory has less interference from the noise of Earth.
