Zanskar validates AI-based discovery method with drilling at Pumpernickel geothermal site, NevadaThe Pumpernickel geothermal site in Northern Nevada (source: Zanskar)Carlo Cariaga 19 Sep 2025Zanskar has drilled a 137 °C geothermal well at 760 meters depth at the Pumpernickel site in Nevada, further validating their AI-based discovery tools. Zanskar is the first AI-native geothermal company using AI to transform the discovery, assessment, and delivery of geothermal energy. With the resource confirmed via deep drilling, Zanskar will now move to full power development for the Pumpernickel site. The Pumpernickel site, located at the Pumpernickel Valley, is described as having sparse data and much higher degree of uncertainty compared to Lightning Dock. Previous attempts at geothermal development at Pumpernickel have been documented through the years.
