Welcome to my Official Website — where Science, Sustainability, Health, Technology, & Innovation Meet.
Bruce Anthony Cosgrove - an independent scientific researcher dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies that protect both our health and the environment graduated with a BSc & MSc - Solution Chemistry - 1973 & 1980 from Simon Fraser University Burnaby British Columbia, Canada.
An inspiring scientist from youth, Bruce is a versatile professional with a rich background in chemistry, artistry, entrepreneurship, finance, nutritional health, and research.
Based in Burnaby, BC, Canada, Bruce brings a wealth of academic expertise and a passion for scientific communication to his personal biography and blog.
With a commitment to clarity and precision, Bruce's work bridges the gap between complex scientific concepts and accessible narratives, providing valuable insights to both professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Rechargeable lithium batteries developed by Moli Energy Ltd.©, now known as E-One MOLICEl, offer significantly higher energy density, lighter weight, and longer cycle life compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
Moli Energy - the Canadian Pioneer of Rechargeable Lithium Battery Technology.
Canada Awards For Excellence
Between 1980 - 1987, I was a Research Chemist for 5 years then Marketing Director at Moli Energy Limited© - , a start-up company founded on technology developed in the University of British Columbia’s Physics Department. Together with fellow team members, he was honored with the Canada Awards for Excellence (Invention Category - 1986) for the development and commercialization of the world’s first rechargeable lithium battery technology. During his tenure as Marketing Director, Bruce secured the company’s first battery contract with the U.S. Military (Fort Monmouth Division) and contributed to its successful public listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), which included a groundbreaking $25 million CDN capital raise—the largest technology financing on the TSX at that time.
Post Moli Energy
Bruce's 35-year career includes serving as interim President/CEO for numerous public companies listed on the former Vancouver Stock Exchange (VSE) and the US OTC Markets platform where he focused on technology related strategic acquisitions and financing initiatives including several company’s in the development and commercialization of innovative CHIP semiconductor technology for remote diagnostics and the monitoring of automobiles on-board computer systems, and gas and oil pipelines structural integrity in real time- a technology breakthrough at that time.
He has leveraged his expertise to drive value for both private and public shareholders, particularly in the technology sector.
3/20/2018 11:29:50 AM, Bruce launced 7.14 million (8-digits) "Alchemy Liquid Gold Coins" (AlchemyLGCoin) on wavesexplorer.com for funding purposes.
During the past 6 years, Bruce turned his attention to researching the South American artisanal mining sector with a focus on Southern Ecuador to introduce Manipueira, a sustainable and less costly lixiviant than mercury- a potent neurotoxin and synthetic cyanide salts.
Bruce founded Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology, Inc.,(f.k.a. Alchemy Mining Group, Inc.) a British Columbia domiciled corporation that developed a four-stage ESG aligned transformative strategy designed to replace the use of mercury and synthetic cyanide salts in artisanal small-scale gold ore processing, the Planet's largest anthropogenic source of deadly global atmospheric mercury pollution.
Bruce, an author of six scientific publications and as a keynote speaker at the 3rd International Conference on Mining Occupational Safety & Health (ICOH-MinOSH) Joint Annual Scientific Health Conference (JASH)21st-23rd September 2022 Speke Resort, Munyonyo, Kampala, Uganda, virtually presented -Sustainable Environmental Remediation with Profitable Gold and Silver Production.
Notably, on January 31, 2025, Bruce A. Cosgrove, MSc, and Jose Moreno-Chavez, MASc, manuscript titled - An Examination, Solution, and Transformative Strategy to Replace Mercury and Cyanide Salts in Artisanal Small-Scale Mining (ASM): Southern Ecuador was published in the peer reviewed Environmental Chemistry eJournal.
This research develops an ESG-aligned strategy to replace mercury- a potent neurotoxin and synthetic cyanide salts in artisanal small-scale gold ore processing with Manipueira, an extract from the cyanogenic bitter cassava plant. Focusing on Ecuador’s Portovelo-Zaruma district, Manipueira advances safe, sustainable gold recovery, reduces neurotoxic exposure, and promotes circular-economy practices.
On 14 August, 2025, Bruce published - A Review and Sustainable Alternative to Sodium-Based and Cyanide-Containing Gold Leaching Agents - Glycine–Thiosulfate Hybrid System preprint for the peer reviewed Journal of Sustainable Mining.
This research advances sustainable hydrometallurgy by developing and validating a glycine–thiosulfate hybrid leaching system as a non-toxic, cyanide- and mercury-free alternative for gold extraction.
