Degrading ore Grades, rising demand
Ore quality at global mining hubs such as australia is decreasing, which means far more energy and capital are needed to recover the same amount of metal. All while demand for critical metals is increasing rapidly.
Minerals That Shape Geopolitics
Many countries are now competing to secure reliable supply chains, since these metals are essential for chipsets, semiconductors, and energy technologies. Approximately 62 million tonnes of electronic waste is generated globally each year, serving as an alternative source of minerals
Trash to Cash
Biomined is a new biotechnological method to extract metals from electronic waste in a cost efficient and scalable way, opening access to an estimated 91 billion dollars worth of recoverable metals each year.
The $FORGE token supports community participation in Biomined’s development and is intended to align incentives around the project’s progress and commercialization. As Biomined scales operations and extracts critical metals from waste streams, token holders gain exposure to the value created by the technology.

Biomined Hits First-Year Milestones
In year one, we advanced from e-waste sourcing and characterization to continuous-flow biolixiviant generation and active bioleaching runs. Early reactor results show 17 to 63 percent shorter retention times and 40 to 300 percent higher biolixiviant production rates, setting up 2026 for biogenic reagents and metal recovery.
