Overview
Transition Metal Solutions develops custom chemical additives that enhance wild microbial communities for metal extraction. The company's platform analyzes the biology already at work in a mining operation and formulates targeted products that increase recovery and accelerate extraction -- without new infrastructure or changes to existing processes. Starting with copper, a metal key to the energy transition, the technology is designed to extend to other critical minerals. The company is backed by leading climate and deeptech investors across the US, Europe, and Australia.
