Technology Assessment Checklists

Checklists for evaluating biomining concepts and bio-solutions

Why These Questions Matter

Most biomining concepts fail not because the biology doesn't work, but because they don't address the operational, economic, and regulatory realities of a mine site. Asking the right questions upfront saves years of misaligned development. These checklists help biologists prepare robust proposals that address mining realities, and help mining professionals evaluate whether a bio-technology is technically sound and economically viable for their operation.
