Valorize copper tailings through Maverick Metals' innovative copper leaching solutions. Unlike traditional biomining, LithX is a cell-free process, so it’s a lot easier to use and manage. Oh, and we don’t produce sulfuric acid.
Our technology works on alpha spodumene. Maverick Metals removes the need for high energy calcination and acid roasting. Extract over 97% of lithium from spodumene, lepidolite, petalite, and lithium bearing clays.
Unlock new rare earth element resources by utilizing unique solutions from Maverick Metals. Efficiently extract these metals from allanite, monazite, carbonatite, and more minerals for clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing.
Valorize coal fly ash and extract potentially valuable metals such as lithium, rare earth elements, nickel, and cobalt. Transform a toxic waste into valuable byproducts.
Unlock valuable gold from refractory ores by breaking down encapsulating sulfide minerals, eliminating the need for traditional energy-intensive methods like roasting or pressure oxidation, and enabling more efficient recovery.
We reduce waste in the iron ore industry by extracting REEs and removing silica gangue from iron ore tailings, ensuring that no material goes unused.
Efficiently recovers nickel from low-grade laterite waste, utilizing a sustainable, low-energy method that eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and reduces environmental impact compared to traditional extraction techniques.
Our LithX technology can even be applied in-situ, allowing metal recovery without the environmental disturbance of traditional mining methods. Imagine extracting metals without digging a hole.
Our innovative LithX technology can be adopted and tailored to fit your needs. Reach out to us to see if we can design a solution for you.
Our BioExtraction™ process, powered by LithX, enables the efficient extraction of metals by completely dissolving and solubilizing minerals at a molecular level. Unlike traditional methods, which require high temperatures and harsh chemicals, BioExtraction™ directly targets the mineral's crystal structure, liberating valuable metals with minimal environmental impact. This innovative approach maximizes metal recovery, reduces energy consumption, and lowers waste.
Through BioExtraction™, selectively dissolve gangue minerals, enhancing the purity and value of the ore. This beneficiation process upgrades ore quality, making it ready for more efficient and cost-effective downstream processing. By targeting and removing impurities, our technology enables high-efficiency resource utilization with lower environmental costs.
In tailings, BioExtraction™ allows for the recovery of residual metals, reducing waste while unlocking additional value from mining byproducts. Beyond extraction, our BioCement technology can be applied to stabilize tailings, sequestering carbon and transforming waste into a safer, more sustainable material. This approach addresses both environmental impact and resource efficiency.
