Critical Minerals · Biomining · Supply Chain Security
Critical minerals secured,
anywhere.
Recovering and purifying rare earth elements from ores and waste streams using engineered biology, replacing toxic chemical processing at industrial scale.
The Strategic Challenge
A strategic competitor controls the rare earth supply the modern world depends on.
Export restrictions have already cut supply to Western manufacturers and defense contractors. The minerals aren’t scarce. Recovering them is the bottleneck.
>87%
of global rare earth supply under foreign control
12 / 17
rare earth elements already subject to active export controls
33%
of U.S.-mined rare earth oxides lost annually to processing and e‑waste
The Barding Platform
A supply chain solution to a geopolitical problem.
One integrated line turns feedstocks conventional refiners reject into high-purity rare earth oxides.
The minerals are here.
So is the solution.
The supply chain gap is real. We’re closing it.
