Endolith

We are honored to be featured by UpLink - World Economic Forum and have our innovative approach to sustainable mining highlighted. ???? As global demand for copper soars, Endolith is harnessing nature’s oldest miners—microbes—to extract copper from low-grade ores in a cleaner, greener way. ?? Watch the full story here: https://lnkd.in/g3KegnWA Thank you to Prospect Innovation for the opportunity to tell our story and to Liz Dennett, PhD, Jill Ayers, and Parker Cline for appearing in this video!

? Meet the Endolith experts ? Meet the Head of Copper, Dr. Stephan Christel at Endolith! He has recently been promoted to Senior Scientist 2! With a strong background in microbial ecology, he’s helping us push the boundaries of sustainable mining through data-driven microbial solutions. ???? Watch how his expertise is illuminating the ‘bio-leaching black box’ and transforming copper extraction. #BioLeaching #SustainableMining #Endolith #DataDrivenInnovation

How do we power the future without compromising it? At Endolith, we believe the way we source critical minerals matters just as much as how we use them. That’s why we’re harnessing the power of microbes and molecules to create smarter, gentler ways to unlock essential materials—starting with copper. Big thanks to Nomadic Venture Partners for spotlighting our work at SME MINEXCHANGE and for sharing our passion for sustainable mining innovation. Want to learn more or collaborate?

? Meet the Endolith experts ? James Floyd is Head of Lithium here at Endolith and has recently been promoted to Senior Scientist 1! ?? With a background in molecular biology and expertise in microbial ecology, he’s pioneering sustainable battery metal extraction using microbes. He has managed various projects all while boosting recovery efficiency. Watch to learn how his work is shaping the future of Endolith! #SustainableMining #Endolith #Innovation

Our Leach to the Last Drop initiative is enhancing copper recovery with advanced, low-carbon techniques. We achieved our initial targeted run rate of 200 million pounds of copper per annum in 2023 and set a target to reach a run rate of 300 million pounds per annum by the end of 2025. Our ultimate goal of 800 million pounds per annum is the size of a major new mine with low capital investment required and low incremental operating costs. “At Freeport, we're really well positioned to capture the value of this opportunity with an extensive inventory of substantial residual copper from material already mined, an industry leading technical team with expertise in leaching technology and a strong multi-disciplined innovation team dedicated to this initiative.” - Kathleen Quirk, President and CEO.
