Microbes. Intelligence. More Minerals.

Endolith combines biology and machine learning to recover copper and other critical minerals from ore that conventional mining leaves behind.

The Problem

Copper demand is surging while most reserves are trapped in low-grade ores.

Electrification, data centers, and defense systems are driving record demand for copper and other critical minerals. Yet most reserves remain locked in low-grade ore that conventional mining can’t process economically. Ore grades are falling, timelines are stretching, and supply can’t keep up.
Why now?

Our Opportunity

Unlock more from existing heaps with AI-guided microbes that adapt in real time.

Endolith’s biological intelligence platform uses AI-guided microbes that adapt to each site, increasing recovery rates while lowering cost and environmental impact.

Upgrading Critical Mineral Mining

Drop-in integration
Seamlessly integrates with existing heap-leach operations — no costly retrofits or new infrastructure.
02
Self-optimizing
AI-guided microbes continuously learn and adapt, improving recovery with every deployment.
03
commercial momentum
Validated via BHP’s TAD program; deployments advancing with global miners
Technology

Optimizing Recovery with Biological Intelligence

Our adaptive microbes continuously learn from site data, improving efficiency, stability, and recovery over time. The result? Smarter heaps, faster cycles, and measurable value from previously stranded resources.
