Revolutionizing
Mining with
Microbial Power

We’re using microbes, earth’s oldest miners, to increase recovery rates in copper and lithium while minimizing environmental impact, making mining more sustainable and effective.

Custom
Biolixiviants

We grow custom microbial communities and apply them where they are needed, optimizing recovery processes.

Adaptive
Biohatcheries

We analyze the genomic makeup of ore and heap leach operations and tailor microbial solutions.

Real-Time
Optimization

Our cloud-native platform continuously monitors and adjusts microbial activity in real-time to enhance the recovery of critical minerals.

Precision Copper Extraction

Our technology increases recovery rates in heap leaches to unlock the potential of previously uneconomical resources.

Through our innovative biodiagnostics process, we establish an understanding of how microbes are currently functioning in a mining site and optimize them for significant operational gains.

Our Technology

Lithium Innovation

Endolith’s microbial-assisted techniques optimize lithium extraction from clays and brines. This scalable and environmentally sustainable solution addresses the rising global demand for lithium, essential for batteries in clean energy technologies.

Our solution selectively removes carbonates before leaching, reducing sulfuric acid use and enhancing daily processing efficiency. By targeting and neutralizing problematic carbonates with microbiology, we streamline implementation at mine sites.

Our Technology

Unlocking Low
Grade Resources

Our technology enables the recovery of copper and lithium from challenging deposits using advanced microbial processes.

Enabling Sustainable Extraction

Our microbial approach to mining offers a lower-energy, eco-friendly alternative to chemicals and energy-intensive processes.

Accessing
Critical Minerals

We’re supporting the global demand for critical minerals while improving environmental stewardship.

About Us

Our mission is to transform the mining industry through innovative and sustainable biotechnology. Led by our founder and CEO, Dr. Liz Dennett, our team of experts in geomicrobiology and biotechnology is dedicated to harnessing the power of microbes to unlock the potential of low-grade ores and reduce the environmental impact of mining. Our team is more than 60% women, one-third have PhDs, and we all possess science and engineering degrees, while our advisory board brings over 350 years of mining and biotechnology expertise to guide us as we scale from the lab to commercial scale.
