We believe in a future powered by clean, sustainable energy.

The energy transition is really
a metal transition.

Current extractive metallurgical processes are energy intensive, relying heavily on fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. These processes are not only bad for the environment, they’re also inefficient. Maverick is changing that.
