Metals recovery from mining ores using bacteria

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."

From energy and capital

One of the biggest problems of mining company is how to make mining operations efficient;  ie recover most of the metals and without toxicity and harmful effect on the environment.  Recovery from mining ores uses toxic chemicals like cyanide and harms the water supply and water and marine life.

Enters nature hardworking miners - bacteria.

I hope PHILEX in the PHL knows about this technology

But not so with Talavivaara Mining in Europe.  In just 27 months 78% of the metals were recovered.

Know more about the bacteria miners at Talvivaara mining

The rare and precious metals that are found in this mines include:  copper, chromium, vanadium, zinc, molybdenum (useful in nuclear reactors), uranium, lithium (major component of electronic equipment batteries, and vanadium.   Investment in this company is  good investment.  Could be a six bagger.
