Tersa Earth

We’re honored to be featured in the Vancouver Tech Journal as we continue our mission to transform BC’s mining industry with sustainable innovation. Our microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is designed to reduce environmental impact and create meaningful economic opportunities, especially through our collaboration with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. Huge thanks to Vancouver Tech Journal and Lisa Tanh for shedding light on this crucial work. Together, we’re building a future where people, planet, and profit can thrive.

Today, Natasha Kumari, VP of Marketing & Operations at Tersa Earth, represented us at the Low Carbon Business Action (LCBA Canada Phase II Launch Event). 🌍 This hybrid event, co-hosted in Vancouver and Brussels, is part of an EU-funded initiative to connect Canadian businesses with cutting-edge European cleantech innovations. The program aims to accelerate Canada’s decarbonization efforts and help companies achieve Net Zero. Natasha discussed how Tersa Earth is pioneering zero-waste solutions, transforming the sustainable mining industry, and contributing to a circular economy.

We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with the Yinka Dene Economic Development Limited Partnership (YLP), representing the Wet’suwet’en First Nation! This collaboration is a game-changer as we work together to advance sustainable economic development and accelerate the commercialization of TersaClean technology. This partnership is not just about business; it is about building meaningful relationships with First Nations communities, which are essential for the success of any resource project in Canada, including mining. The Wet’suwet’en First Nation’s rich cultural heritage and leadership in environmental stewardship will guide our efforts, ensuring we honor their values and traditions. We are excited about the positive impact it will have on both our communities and the planet. Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey! 🌍💚 #Partnership #Sustainability #IndigenousRelations #EconomicDevelopment #TersaClean #Wet’suwet’en

Grateful to Natasha and the team at Tersa Earth in Burnaby this morning for the tour of their new facility and the discussion around the fascinating work they’re doing to use biodiversity to extract additional metals and material from tailings waste and acid rock drainage. This is where change happens. Congratulations to Barinder Rasode, Natasha Kumari, and the entire Tersa Earth team, your future sure looks bright!

“B.C. has one of the highest - if not the highest - environmental regulatory standards on the planet. It has one of the best consultation frameworks. I think the key thing for us is to ask if we are we championing that while also talking about the things we need to improve on.” - Keerit Jutla, AME - Association for Mineral Exploration A great BCBusiness piece on the state of mining in BC.

Come work with us! Tersa Earth is looking for our next lab rock star. We are currently accepting applications for a Lab Operations Manager for Tersa’s facility, including the team with respect to: lab cleaning, preparation of materials, maintenance, and administrative duties such as ordering and safety monitoring.

It was an inspiring day at the first ever #VancouverFoundersDay! Hundreds of up-and-coming founders came together to hear from some of the big names in Vancouver’s tech ecosystem. Their expertise, leadership and innovation have put Vancouver on the map and helped propel the region’s tech talent!   The room was buzzing about next year’s #WebSummitVancouver – Vancouver is welcoming the world’s tech community to the first Web Summit in North America!   Thank you Panache Ventures and your partners FaskenTech, Boast and Google Cloud for creating a great event today!  

‘With an ultimate goal of zero harm to people and the environment, the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management sets a global benchmark for achieving strong social, environmental and technical outcomes.” The Global Tailings Review convened by the United Nations Environment Programme, the Principles for Responsible Investment and the International Council on Mining and Metals launched the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management. The review calculated that: ➡ 12.7 billion metric tonnes of tailings are produced every year. ➡ There are around 8,500 active, inactive and closed tailings storage facilities worldwide whose collective footprint exceeds 280 billion metric tonnes. ➡ The estimated value of precious, critical and strategic metals contained within those sites is thought to exceed US$3.4 trillion. That number doesn’t take into account the value of industrial minerals such as silica and micas that make up a larger percentage of tailings and could potentially be used in industrial or consumer applications. Without the metals that mining produces, the energy transition needed to address climate change simply can’t happen. The need for sustainable mining practices and effective treatment strategies for tailings is more pressing than ever.

Great to see the Government of Saskatchewan providing new, targeted incentives to spur investment and innovation in #Saskatchewan's critical minerals industry. Driving innovation and new solutions for sustainable resource development will be key as Canada capitalizes on the rising global demand for critical metals that will power the clean energy transition. #mininginnovation #saskpoli #cdnpoli

“We’ve scaled up our fuel cell by 50x, seen recovery of copper of up to 95% in its elemental form, neutralization in 5-7 hours, and removal of 100% of contaminants like arsenic.” Natasha Kumari, Tersa’s VP of Operations & Marketing, gave an update on our progress to date at the MICA | Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator funding announcement event held at MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. Tersa was proud to receive a MICA grant, a program that is supported by the federal government and focused on accelerating groundbreaking technologies that will make the mining industry more productive and sustainable.
