| Bruce A. Cosgrove - Back to Basics |
| Where Science, Sustainability, Health, Technology, and Innovation Meet |
Bruce Anthony Cosgrove is a versatile professional with a rich background in chemistry, artistry, entrepreneurship, finance, nutritional health, and research.
An inspired scientist from youth, Bruce is an independent scientific researcher dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies and solutions that protect both our health and the environment.
| ACADEMIA |
Bruce is a chemist, entrepreneur, and clean-technology innovator whose career spans science, sustainability, finance, applied research, and more recently botanical formulations for healthy aging and deaging.
Bruce graduated with a BSc (1977) & MSc (1980) - Solution Chemistry from Simon Fraser University, Burnaby British Columbia, Canada.
In 1990, Bruce completed the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) from the Canadian Securities Institute and studied the US Series 7 Securities Course.
During his career, Bruce has authored seven scientific manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals including two published in 2025 and a scientific presentation published in 2026.
| BACosgrove Scientific Researcher, Inc. |
BACosgrove Scientific Researcher, Inc., is an independent research and consulting practice focused on translating complex science into practical solutions across environmental health, sustainable technologies, and plant-based wellness.
The company bridges laboratory science, policy analysis, and real-world implementation—supporting projects ranging from mercury reduction strategies and environmental risk assessment to botanical formulation and evidence-based wellness innovation.
The mission is simple: turn rigorous science into actionable insight that improves human and environmental outcomes.
Beyond industrial applications, the Company also supports science-based wellness innovation, including the formulation of botanical juices and soups grounded in chemistry, nutrition science, and healthy-aging research.
This reflects the company’s broader philosophy that human health and environmental health are inseparable.
| Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology |
In 2021, Bruce founded Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology, Inc., (f.k.a. Alchemy Mining Group, Inc.), a Company duly incorporated in the Province of British Colombia, Canada focused on the principles of sustainable science and health protection. The Company developed an ESG aligned four-stage transformative strategy designed to replace mercury-a potent neurotoxin and synthetic cyanide salts used by artisanal miners in Southern Ecuador with Manipueira (Manihot esculenta Crantz).
Manipueira, a naturally occurring, locally available toxic agricultural waste byproduct produced from harvesting the bitter cassava plant and when used as a lixiviant (leaching agent), is scientifically documented to sustainably recover to 2-3x more gold faster from ore and toxic tailings wastes under controlled conditions.
Since 2017, following involvement in iron-ore projects in South America and Mexico, Bruce’s focus shifted decisively toward responsible mining. Through his company, Alchemy Mining Group, Inc., a voluntary SEC-reporting filer, he executed a Joint-Venture Agreement with Alquimia y Explotación Minera San Juan Alquiexmi S.A. (Ecuador), holder of two mining concessions in the Bella Rica mining district.
After researching the Portovelo-Zaruma mining district—where gold-bearing ore from Bella Rica is processed using mercury, a potent neurotoxin—Bruce was compelled by firsthand evidence of environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and public-health risk. In response, he developed and validated a safer, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative lixiviant: manipueira, an extract derived from the cyanogenic bitter cassava plant, shown to recover up to three times more gold than mercury while eliminating its toxic legacy.
Between 1987 - 2017, Bruce served as interim President and CEO of multiple public companies, leading strategic acquisitions and financing initiatives across the former Vancouver Stock Exchange (VSE) and the U.S. OTC Markets platform.
His work includes the development and commercialization of CHIP-based semiconductor technologies for real-time remote diagnostics of automotive onboard computer systems and structural integrity monitoring of oil and gas pipelines, consistently driving value for both private and public shareholders.
| CREDITS |
| Dodge City 2004 |
During 2008–2009, Bruce, as Managing Partner of Deacon Publishing and Film Production, LLC, acquired the film rights from Stephen C. Shaver, author of the published novel DODGE CITY 2004. Serving as Executive Producer, Bruce coordinated multiple writers to develop the manuscript for a full-length independent feature screenplay Dodge City 2004 (runtime: 2 hours and 10 minutes), registered with the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW Registry No. 1336579) and published under ISBN-10: 0615129196; ISBN-13: 978-0615129198.
In addition, Bruce worked closely with the Director Doug Raine and the Unit Production Manager (UPM) to prepare the short-form production budget. Bruce successfully raised the required USD $453,000 through the sale of New Mexico Film Office Tax Credits and secured supplemental financing commitments from a retirement fund for $USD 10 million to support production of the independent feature film, until development was ultimately halted by the Great Recession.
| Moli Energy Ltd. |
Between 1980 - 1987, Bruce spent seven years with Moli Energy Limited (MoLi®) - a start-up company now E-One MOLICEL®, as a Chemist pioneering electrolyte research for the world’s first rechargeable lithium molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) intercalation battery technology then two years as Marketing Director.
As Marketing Director, Bruce secured the company first externally funded R&D contract from the U.S. Military (Fort Monmouth Division, New York) to develop a lightweight 12-volt DC portable lithium battery pack to replace the heavy and inefficient lead-acid systems used in field radio communications. An engineering feat successfully accomplished as the AC/DC conversion chip circuitry had to fit inside one of the battery pack D-cells.
Bruce supported Moli Energy’s 1990 public listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) which culminated in a record CAD $25 million technology financing—the largest of its kind on the TSX at that time—advancing cleaner, more efficient rechargeable lithium battery technology.
In 1986, Bruce and Moli Energy Ltd. team members were distinguished with the Canada Awards for Excellence -Category - Invention presented by the Governor General of Canada - Edward Schreyer.
