The Metals Company (TMC) is focused on the collection, processing and refining of polymetallic nodules, containing nickel, copper and cobalt, found on the seafloor in the international waters of the Clarion Clipperton Zone, 1,300 nautical miles off the coast of Southern California.

The decarbonisation of the automotive sector is gathering pace, with sales of electric vehicles (EVs) increasing 59% in 2022 to nearly 15% of the global market. This seismic shift will require a significant increase in the availability of nickel, cobalt and manganese for the batteries required to power EVs. We estimate that TMC’s total nickel resources could electrify 230m cars.

Progress to an exploitation licence and commercialisation of The Metals Company’s (TMC’s) deep-sea assets is unchanged. The development of a strategy to leverage the group’s knowledge and capabilities in the deep sea to provide services to third parties offers the potential of a new and earlier revenue stream.
