Endolith, Inc.

Enabling more efficient and sustainable recovery of critical minerals from low-grade ore using microbes and artificial intelligence

Founded in 2023 by Liz Percak-Dennett, Endolith is a biological intelligence company using AI-guided microbes to recover copper and other minerals from overlooked ore and waste streams. The platform integrates with existing mining infrastructure, accelerating metal recovery without requiring new mines or major capital expenditures. As copper demand is rising with electrification, ore grades are declining and permitting for new mines remains slow, Endolith offers a capital-light, biologically driven path to near-term copper supply.
