Maverick Bioworks, operating under the name Maverick BioMetals, has developed a groundbreaking BioExtraction™ technology that significantly enhances mineral processing and metal extraction. This innovative approach achieves an impressive 96% metal recovery rate while minimizing the use of water, energy, and heat, thereby reducing waste and environmental impact. The BioExtraction™ process operates at a molecular level, effectively dissolving and solubilizing minerals without the need for harsh chemicals or high temperatures, which are common in traditional metallurgical methods. This technology is versatile, targeting a variety of valuable minerals, including lithium and rare earth elements, and is designed to support a sustainable, clean energy future.

In addition to efficient extraction, Maverick BioMetals emphasizes the importance of beneficiation and tailings management. Their technology not only enhances the quality and value of extracted resources by selectively removing gangue minerals but also allows for the recovery of residual metals from mining waste. The company’s BioCement technology further contributes to sustainability by stabilizing tailings and sequestering carbon, transforming hazardous byproducts into safer materials. Overall, Maverick BioMetals is committed to revolutionizing resource extraction and processing, driving towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly future in the mining industry.
