Industrial biology that helps secure domestic supply chains for copper, nickel, and the critical minerals that electrification, AI, and defense depend on.
Bolt-on. Deployed at mine scale. Proven in production.
A platform refined across five years of laboratory, pilot, and field work — now being deployed at commercial mine sites.
Allonnia screens microbes and biomolecules found in the extreme conditions of real mine environments that are highly specialized to interact with metals and minerals to survive. Our library of over 1,000 microbes from all over the world provides candidates for screening we’ve done across dozens of real-world ore concentrates, with proven applications for copper, nickel, and rare earths.
Discovering an effective microbe, protein, or other biomolecule is the start. Producing it consistently, at industrial volume, in a form that performs in the messy conditions of a real mine flowsheet, that’s the work. Allonnia Biosolutions™ are produced through standard fermentation in existing infrastructure, delivered to site, where it is recycled, and reused after each treatment cycle.
Biology that stays in the lab doesn’t help anyone. Allonnia’s systems bolt onto the existing flowsheet using familiar hardware, no new mine, no new plant, no risk to production. We have successfully completed a commercial scale pilot at a North American mine.
Every operator knows the reality: ore grades are dropping, impurities are climbing, and the easy tonnes are gone. Yet demand for what you produce has never been higher. The immediate path forward isn’t another billion-dollar greenfield or a longer permitting cycle: it’s getting more from the deposit you already have.
The answer, it turns out, has been living in the rock the whole time. Nature is constantly refining biology that selectively interacts with specific minerals. Allonnia is the team that takes that biology out of the petri dish, and scales it through industrial fermentation, so it can be deployed at the mine site. Bolted onto your existing flowsheet. Running in months, not years.

Some of it is locked inside the ore you already mine — held back by impurities that conventional processing can’t selectively remove. Some of it sits in the waste streams nobody has economically tapped: coal ash, tailings, acid mine drainage. Allonnia has developed distinct biology for each — and built the industrial capability that takes it from the petri dish to the mine site.
A bolt-on system inside the concentrator that uses microbial metabolism to selectively dissolve the impurities limiting grade and recovery in the ore you’re already moving. Commercial scale nickel pilot validated at Eagle Mine, MI.
A modular biosorption system that uses engineered proteins to selectively bind rare earths and other valuable metals from coal ash and acid mine drainage. Lab-validated, with the first pilot site secured in Montana.

Allonnia D-Solve™ is a bolt-on technology that selectively removes the impurities limiting grade and recovery from concentrate — using microbes that evolved to do this work in nature, now engineered for the production environment. The hardware is familiar. The biology is not. The result is more sellable metal per tonne of ore you are already processing.

Acid mine drainage, coal ash, tailings. Waste streams that today are liabilities, not assets. Allonnia RE-Cover turns those wastes into resources for rare earths – using engineered proteins that selectively and repeatedly adsorb valuable metals from waste streams, then release them in concentrated form upon elution. Modular, low-capex, deployable per site.
