Endolith

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

‍

Endolith is a biological intelligence company transforming critical mineral recovery through engineered microbes and adaptive optimization. Its proprietary platform combines bioleaching with real-time data feedback to help mining companies extract more value from low-grade or complex ores cleanly, efficiently, and at scale. Dr. Liz Dennett founded Endolith with major producers to expand recovery across copper, lithium, and rare earths.

Endolith’s platform offers a faster path forward by letting microbes do the mining. Its engineered microbial systems, guided by real-time AI, recover metals from low-grade ores and mineralized materials that conventional methods leave behind. The result is faster, cleaner and more capital-efficient recovery that can extend the life of existing assets and unlock new supply without new excavation. Lab and pre-field testing have demonstrated copper recovery from mineralized waste. The company is based in Denver, CO.
