About Us

We don't dig. We grow.™

Every year, demand for critical metals keeps on increasing, and there are untapped resources such as geothermal brines, data center waste, industrial wastewater, etc. — packed with the metals the energy transition is starving for: lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths. The usual fix is another mine and a giant smelter.

KP Labs found a quieter way. We put bacteria to work alongside selective leaching and nano-membrane filtration to recover critical minerals at low energy and high purity — all inside a 20 or 40 feet container that travels to the waste instead of the other way around.

The bet: the next century's richest ore deposit isn't in the ground — it's in what we've already thrown away.
