The proposed equity issue and additional resources will largely complete the funding requirement for The Metals Company’s (TMC’s) further environmental study and completion of its mining application, which it intends to file in July 2024. While the regulatory delays in the International Seabed Authority’s (ISA’s) implementation of the mining exploitation code were disappointing, momentum behind the legislative process remains positive and the stepping stones towards TMC’s production of battery metals from the deep sea are steadily falling into place.

Q2 and H1 results

Q2 underlying operating loss before share-based payments of $10.7m was similar to Q1’s $11.6m, reflecting ongoing exploration and administration costs with no major events in the period. Cash consumption of $7.9m in the quarter reflected the operating profit conversion adjusted for share-based payments and a positive working capital inflow of $2.2m. Net cash at the period end was $20m.

Funding and fund-raising

As part of the previously authorised shelf registration programme, on 14 August TMC announced plans to issue 13.462m shares at $2.0 per share to raise $27m before costs. The price represents an 82% premium on the previous day’s closing price. The issue includes 6.7m warrants (one warrant for every two new shares issued) with an initial exercise price of $3.00 per share, exercisable immediately on issue and expiring on 31 December 2027. Participants include existing shareholders and management. There is also a provision for certain investors to buy 5.5m new shares and warrants on the same terms until 15 September. This would suggest a raise of up to c $35m which, along with the undrawn $25m Allseas credit facility, covers the $60–70m that management estimates is required to complete and submit the exploitation licence for NORID (planned for July 2024).

Valuation: Uplift from $364m to $451m

Our project valuation, including our longer-term metal price assumptions (nickel 16,010$/tonne versus the current price of 20,500$/tonne), is unchanged. However, the on-site test, nodule collection and environmental programme has progressed and therefore de-risked the project to an extent, in our view, between a pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility study. This would suggest a valuation of between $362m and $541m or an average of $451m, which compares to our previous average valuation of $364m. Permitting remains the key catalyst, which would increase our valuation to $981m.

Company profile

TMC is looking to collect naturally occurring polymetallic nodules, which lie on the ocean floor in the deep water (over 4,000m) of the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) off the south-west coast of Southern California. These nodules contain nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese, all of which metals are essential for the electrification (primarily for batteries) required for decarbonising the transport sector. The CCZ forms part of the deep seabed and is controlled by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, responsible for the mineral development and environmental protection of the seabed within international waters (ie more than 200 miles from land). TMC holds three exploration licences, as shown in Exhibit 1.

Source: TMC

TMC has been carrying out resource analysis and environmental investigation in the region since it was awarded an exploration licence in July 2011. 2022 saw the completion of the following key milestones in the development programme:

■

Operational: full sea trials of the Hidden Gem, the collection vessel and riser system were completed, with 3,000 tonnes of nodules collected and brought to the surface for processing trials.

■

Environmental: independent scientific analysis of the seabed undertaken to enable full analysis of the impact of the nodule collection system.

TMC is progressing its application for an exploitation licence from ISA as it seeks to become the first company to commercially collect polymetallic nodules from the deep sea for onshore processing. The planned programme schedule, Project Zero (small scale) and Project One (full commercial scale), involves a section of the NORI block (Nori-D) which covers an area 25.2km² and is estimated to contain 356Mt of nodules with 3.8Mt of nickel.

Mining licence progress

Regulatory update

ISA is mandated to establish exploitations licensing regulation while taking into account its environmental responsibilities. These negotiations have been somewhat protracted, reflecting the complexities of delivering such an agreement and the impact of COVID-19. Therefore the original intention for completion at ISA’s July 2023 meeting has not been fulfilled. Nevertheless, commentary remains positive for the direction of exploitation regulation albeit opponents remain, primarily on environmental grounds. Some recent statements include the following:

■

The United Nations resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 30 December 2022 concerning oceans and the law of the sea: ‘Welcomes the progress of the work of the Authority on draft regulations for exploitation of mineral resources in the Area, but also notes that the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the limitations recommended on meetings. [The United Nations] encourages the Authority to continue its work on the draft regulations as a matter of priority and to provide sufficient opportunities and time for substantive consideration and discussion of the draft regulations as well as the relevant standards and guidelines.’

■

A United Nations intergovernmental conference on marine diversity approved a new maritime biodiversity treaty covering areas beyond national jurisdiction. The treaty calls for the protection of 30% of the region. We note that ISA remains mandated to regulate the deep sea, including the CCZ, where TMC’s NORI-D is situated and where 43% of the region is already protected.

■

The opening comments of the ISA secretary general’s 2023 annual report included ‘The main driving factor in this respect is the ongoing commitment of the Council to move towards the adoption of the regulations for the exploitation of marine minerals in the Area.’ This was further supported by a road map for the continuation of work on the draft regulations.

■

The G20 Environment and Climate Ministers meeting in July commented: ‘In the context of the International Seabed Authority (ISA), we commit to engage in the development of a clear, robust and effective regulatory framework on deep seabed mineral exploitation that ensures effective protection for the marine environment from harmful effects…’.

The next ISA meetings are in November 2023, March 2024 and July 2024.

TMC’s position

In June 2021, the TMC subsidiary NORI notified ISA that it intended to apply for an exploitation contract (licence), effectively triggering a two-year window for exploitation regulations to be adopted. This deadline has now passed. As an act of good faith and reflecting the impact of COVID-19, progress made on the regulations and continued ISA commitment, management has decided to delay submitting its application until July 2024. This should permit a more seamless progression of the commercialisation process.

Project updates

Much of the work in 2023 has revolved around assimilating data from the 2022 sea trails. This has included environmental studies, with the data made fully available to third parties. TMC has made two recent updates on the development of the project.

Collector upgrade

TMC has announced plans to upscale the size of its collector vehicle and riser system following further engineering analysis after the successful on-site trials carried out in H222. The upgraded system will have a capacity of 3Mtpa of nodule collection against 1.3Mt for the previous system, a 130% uplift. This is not expected to change the annual production capacity of the project but will reduce the number of vessels and associated infrastructure required, thereby offering reduced capex and operational cost requirements.

Further test

TMC has committed to a further campaign to revisit the site of last year’s pilot collection trials in the CCZ to reassess the environmental impact. This will focus on the plumes generated in the collection process and how they have settled over time. The findings will be shared with the scientific community and form part of the environmental impact statement required as part of the mining exploitation licence application.

Q2 and H1 results

The Q2 underlying operating loss before share-based payments of $10.7m was similar to Q1’s $11.6m, reflecting ongoing exploration and administration costs. The H123 underlying operating loss of $22.3m was significantly lower than H222, which included the cost of the major on-site sea trials. The $13.8m profit on disposal reported in Q123 reflected the premium of the assets disposed of as part of the corporate agreement and investment in Low Carbon Royalties.

Q2 cash consumption of $7.9m reflected operating profit conversion adjusted for share-based payments and a positive working capital inflow of $2.2m. H122 cash spend included the movement in working capital, in part reflecting the cash associated with the H222 sea trials, leading to cash outflow for the half of $26.8m. Net cash at the period end stood at $20m.

Funding

Management’s recent update included comments that the cash requirement to submit the exploitation licence for NORI-D would be $60–$70m, in excess of the $20m cash currently on hand. Management also highlighted some of the avenues immediately available to it:

■

$25m unsecured and undrawn credit facility with an affiliate of Allseas.

■

$30m at-the-market (ATM) equity programme.

■

$100m effective universal ‘shelf’ registration statement pursuant to which TMC may issue securities, including the $30m in common shares issuable under the ATM.

TMC subsequently announced the issue of 13.462m shares at $2.0 per share to raise $27m before costs within the ‘shelf’ registration programme previously authorised. This is at an 82% premium to the previous day’s closing price. The issue includes 6.7m warrants (one warrant for every two new shares issued) with an initial exercise price of $3.00 per share, exercisable immediately on issue and expiring on 31 December 2027, which can also be called by the company at a share price above $6.50 on a weighted basis for 30 days. Participants include existing shareholders and management. There is also a provision for certain investors to buy 5.5m new shares and warrants on the same terms up to 15 September.

We estimate that this will raise c $25m, up to c $35m if the additional funds are committed. Along with the Allseas undrawn facility, this significantly reduces funding requirements over the next 12 months. Further funding will be required for the mining programme, which we show as debt in our forecasts.

Valuation

We have updated our project valuation to take into account the following changes to expectations.

■

Changes to timing: management expects to begin commercial operations in Q425. We have modelled commencement in Q126 with a two-year ramp-up to full capacity for Project Zero and five years for the main commercial programme, Project One, in line with previous expectations.

■

Update to financials: the plan to increase the scale of the nodule recovery system will reduce the number of vessels required and provide additional operational leverage, thereby reducing capex and/or operational costs. The negative side of the equation is that inflationary cost pressures have been greater than originally anticipated. Hence, until TMC is in a position to provide greater granularity to the likely costings, we have not made any adjustments.

■

Update to metal pricing expectations: the accelerating shift to electrification in the transportation sector is clearly positive for battery metals pricing. Nevertheless, we retain our medium-term metals pricing expectations. Nickel is key for TMC (we estimate 45% of revenues) at $16,010/tonne against the current price of $20,500/tonne.

Exhibit 3 provides a summary of our valuation relative to the position in the development process through to full commercialisation. TMC is clearly not a traditional mining business, which makes it somewhat less straightforward to assess its position in the development process. Previously, we foresaw TMC in the preliminary economic assessment/pre-feasibility stage. The successful sea trials and environmental campaign conducted in H222 further de-risk the project, suggesting a valuation between a pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility study. This would suggest a valuation of between $362m and $541m, or an average of $451m. Permitting remains the key catalyst, which would increase our valuation to $981m with further upside as the physical nodule collection progresses. This valuation is purely for Nori-D, which accounts for only 22% of the total estimated TORI and TOML resources.

Financials

We have updated our forecasts to reflect:

■

changes to the financial position of the group following the announced fund-raising including the dilution from the share issue; and

■

a delay in first production, which management now targets in Q425 (previously Q424). However, to ensure a degree of conservatism, we have delayed this until 2026.
