We use advanced microfabrication and microfluidics to create biochips for high-throughput testing of biomolecules. This lets us rapidly pinpoint the best biomolecule candidates for metal extraction.
We formulate our biomolecules in a cell-free system – meaning we don’t need to grow living cells to produce them. This approach lets us test and tweak candidates much faster, simplifies deployment at the mine site, and minimizes downtime.
Our AI analyzes data from our tests to continually refine biomolecule designs for each mine’s conditions. This feedback loop means our solutions keep getting more efficient and selective over time.
We unlock more critical minerals for the clean energy transition while making mining more sustainable. It’s a win–win for both the planet and the industry.
Increased Metal Recovery
Reduced Extraction Time
Lower Environmental Impact
We develop custom biomolecules that maximize metal recovery from low-grade ores and mining waste, outperforming traditional chemicals in selectivity, yield, and sustainability.
Our technology currently targets copper and lithium, with plans to expand into gold, nickel, rare earth elements, and other critical minerals essential for the energy transition.
We partner with mining companies as a B2B solution provider, integrating our technology into existing processes (drop-in) to boost recovery and reduce both costs and time.
Our biomolecules reduce water and energy consumption, minimize chemical use, and unlock value from resources that would otherwise go to waste, making mining more sustainable.
We are conducting lab-scale pilots with mining companies, demonstrating the applicability of the technology and its potential to reshape mining extraction processes.
