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 business of mining the Moon. Take your time to go through our core themes listed below or via the menus.

We build geospatial databases and online maps showing actual and planned activity on the Moon.

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, Precious Metals, Rare Earth Elements, Helium 3 and Water.

Question: Is there a Gold Rush on the Moon?

Answer: If capital is allocated to the right projects, yes 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 (half 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

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:

Lunar Mapping: Educational and Commercial Online Maps of Activity on the Moon

LRR has developed an Open Lunar Registry and Commercial Resources Registrations.

Explore the Moon using our online interactive maps:

Bonus Map! Space Ports (beta). Before going to the Moon, you have to start somewhere! We have launched an online spherical map of Spaceports. We will add more launch pads and new spaceports as we gather more informaiton. Visit Mapping Global Spaceports.

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. See Our Service.

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.

Lunar Resources Registry is a Registry for the Moon

As the Space Race evolves into Space Industrialisation, the search for off-world resources goes straight to the Moon.

But how will Lunar Mining function, when multiple nations, and soon companies, are conducting expensive and revolutionary missions? The Lunar Resources Registry is the answer.
