Future of Mining Frontiers – Biomining
Traditional metal processing methods, while effective, are energy-intensive and environmentally damaging, often resulting in over 50% ore wastage. Biomining, a revolutionary process using microorganisms to extract metals like copper, nickel, and gold, offers a more sustainable solution. With biomining already contributing to 15% of global copper production, major players like Anglo American and Antofagasta are leading the way. As the biomining market potentially grows to $50B by 2035, the industry faces critical questions: How will this impact traditional processors? Which regions will drive innovation? How will regulatory frameworks shape large-scale adoption? The future of metal extraction is evolving—are you ready?
