We Grow Metal
Biological infrastructure for critical metal extraction. Battery-grade nickel, harvested at best-in-class costs.
Inside the team replacing the excavator with plants, and the biotech built to be the backbone for the next century of critical metal extraction.
Genomines cultivates “metal farms” that secure the world’s most critical metal supply chains. Our crops extract nickel directly from low-grade, toxic soils, transforming idle lands into high-yield, profitable assets.
More than profit.
More than sustainability.
Systemic Return.
Every ton of nickel we produce compounds value across three dimensions: financial return, stable supply chains, and planetary health.
Lower cash cost per ton of Nickel equivalent versus traditional extraction. Legacy extraction requires fleets of heavy extractors, crushers, and grinding equipment to produce the same outcome that our plants achieve naturally.
Potential new tons of nickel per year, from secure domestic supply. A sovereign asset that breaks reliance on foreign monopolies, built entirely on predictable agricultural OpEx.
CO2 equivalent avoided per ton of nickel produced vs. traditional laterite extraction. We extract high-grade metal from polluted lands and rehabilitate the soil as a natural byproduct of the operation itself.
"We are not activists; we are building an industry. Our priority is to produce the most competitive nickel on the market."
We are realist-optimists who see "impossible" as an engineering problem with a deadline, we've already doubled nickel yields, hit battery-grade purity, and broken ground on our first commercial farm in South Africa.
We’re growing.
