Ecobiome is our secret weapon in the rare earth mining process....
"Through various characterization methods it was found that the ECOA00U1 facilitated precious metal, rare earth and gold production from a variety of environmental solid and liquid substrata.
The isolated ECOA00U1 demonstrated gold and precious metals production de novo, using eco-friendly and sustainable biochemical processes and methods. [0034] Altogether, the present disclosure provides multiple lines of evidence showing the presently disclosed bacterium and methods of using the same
to extract, produce and/or amplify precious metals and/or rare earth metals from a variety of environmental substrates.As used herein, the term “rare earth metals” or “RE” may refer to scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and/or lutetium (Lu). As used herein, the term “precious earth metals” may refer to gold, silver, aluminium, rhenium, indium, platinum, gallium, germanium, ruthenium, rhodium, beryllium, palladium, osmium, iridium, tellurium, bismuth, platinum palladium, titanium, zinc, and zirconium."
In other news, it looks like the patents are solid:
Stibbs & Co. prosecuted and obtained the first United States Patent for their client EcoBiome Holdings, LLC. The patent was granted December 19, 2023, listing EcoBiome’s owner, Marc Rodriguez, as sole inventor, and is entitled “Apparatus for Microorganism Isolation, Characterization, Identification and Methods of Use Thereof.” While Stibbs & Co. did not write the patent application, previous patent counsel was unable to convince the USPTO of patentability. The USPTO agreed with Stibbs and Co.’s arguments that the methods of use of the apparatus known as the EcoBiome Apparatus™ were patentable. Stibbs & Co. is prosecuting other pending patent applications for EcoBiome Holdings, including a patent application with claims drawn to the apparatus itself.
