Tersa Earth Innovations
Eliminating mining tailings ponds and providing unmatched decarbonization solutions
The future is ours.
Let’s reclaim it.
We have pioneered a technology that allows nature to heal itself.
Our carbon-neutral solutions for remediating mining waste and recovering metals will unlock new value and reduce the carbon footprint of mining operations.
Every year in North America, $20 billion worth of metals are lost in tailings ponds
Toxic waste
Often containing arsenic, mercury and lead, among others, Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) can be hazardous to life and the environment.
Threat to mining
Effective ARD treatment continues to be the biggest challenge to the sustainability and profitability of the mining industry.
Limited remediation
The status quo technology to treat ARD is costly and emissions-intensive and does not recover precious metals trapped in waste.
Building the electric future requires natural resources.
The electric age demands an abundant supply of metals and minerals, which adds to the thousands of tailings dams that exist around the world.
Without improved mining remediation technology, it’s estimated that over 75 trillion litres of Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) will be produced globally by 2040.
We believe there is a better way.
Our technology enables 100% ARD remediation
The Tersa Method
We are not merely treating waste. By recovering metals, we reclaim value for mining partners.
Cleans water
Replaces lime in ARD treatment, mitigating carbon emissions
Recovers value
Extracts metals from the waste stream, boosting mine production
Minimizes costs
Deploys self-powered modules at any volume, economically
Simplifies closure
Targets harmful substances, lowering the costs of mine closure
Improves outcomes
Removes corrosive materials, aiding mine life and performance
Reduces risk
Improves the ESG performance of mining operators and investors
Improved mining remediation technology and the elimination of tailings ponds will ensure sustainable, long-term growth for the mining sector.
