Sensitive to change, microbial communities are the earliest indicators of the effectiveness of remediation efforts at reclaimed mine sites.

Biocement made by microbes can solidify and stabilize tailings—an environmentally friendly, cost effective, and durable solution to a major mining challenge.

Microbes are cost-effective and sensitive indicators of mining impacts and recovery, allowing companies to intervene early and meet regulations.

Native microbes with unique capabilities can be used to remediate mining wastes, bypassing the need for expensive and harsh processes.

Soil microbes can effectively indicate buried mineral resources, serving as an alternative to costly and time-consuming traditional prospecting methods.
