Company Overview Benefits of the Tersa Method:

Mission
Tersa Earth aims to pioneer technology that enables nature to heal itself, Cleans water by replacing lime in ARD treatment,
providing carbon-neutral solutions for remediating mining waste and recovering thereby mitigating carbon emissions.
metals. The ultimate goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of mining operations
and unlock new value from mining waste. Recovers value by extracting metals from the
waste stream, boosting mine production.

Enviromental Impact Minimizes costs by deploying self-powered

Improves outcomes by removing corrosive

Technology
Tersa Earth has developed a unique technology called the Tersa Method, which
involves the use of Microbial Fuel Cells, Microbial carbonate precipitation, and
Bioprocess engineering. This technology enables 100% remediation of Acid Rock
Drainage (ARD), a toxic byproduct of mining.
materials, enhancing mine life and performance.
Reduces risk by improving the Environmental,
Social, and Governance (ESG) performance of
mining operators and investors.
 IoT and Investment Attractiveness
Implementation of IoT
While the information of their website doesn't explicitly mention
IoT, it's reasonable to assume that Tersa Earth's technology
involves sophisticated monitoring and control systems such as:
Sensor Networks: Utilizing sensors to monitor water quality,
metal concentrations, and other environmental parameters in
real-time.
Data Analytics: Applying data analytics to process the
information collected by sensors.
Remote Monitoring: Allowing Tersa Earth to keep track of its
processing units' performance.
Investment Highlights
Tersa Earth positions itself as an attractive investment opportunity by
highlighting its patented process, modular design, alignment with
public policy goals for a net-zero economy, and experienced team in
climate technology development.
The International Energy Agency estimates a sixfold increase in
mineral inputs by 2040, a target that cannot be met by traditional
mining practices alone.
Tersa's innovative approach to remediate mining waste and recover
essential metals for electrification is a direct response to this
challenge, offering a carbon-neutral solution that reduces the carbon
footprint of mining operations and unlocks untapped asset value.
