Exploration

Developing technology to efficiently locate and evaluate deep-sea mineral resources. Our methods enhance understanding of the ocean floor and its potential while maintaining strict safeguards.

Innovative Exploration Technologies

‍‍

The exploration phase of our project is pivotal to identifying and assessing viable deep-sea mineral deposits. We employ cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remote sensing, and geophysical mapping to explore the ocean floor. These tools provide high-resolution imagery and data, allowing us to pinpoint mineral-rich areas with precision.

‍

Our exploration project prioritizes safety and environmental responsibility. By using minimally invasive techniques, we reduce the physical impact on the seabed and its ecosystems. We conduct detailed geological and geochemical analyses to understand the composition and distribution of minerals, ensuring that extraction processes are both efficient and environmentally sound.

‍

The project partnerships bring together experts in marine geology, geophysics, and environmental science, fostering innovation and ensuring the highest standards of scientific rigor. Together, we aim to expand our knowledge of deep-sea resources while protecting the delicate marine environment.

Other Focus Areas

Environment

Minimizing environmental impact is the cornerstone of our project, aiming for an 80% reduction in ecological footprint compared to land-based mining. We focus on baseline data and assessment tools.

Production

Designing closed-loop systems for eco-friendly mineral extraction. We aim to minimize energy consumption and integrate with existing subsea technologies.

Processing

Incorporating seabed minerals with existing processing operations. Developing technology to extract metals from sulfides. Our focus includes reducing waste and ensuring alternative uses for by-products.
