COMPANY DESCRIPTION

TMC the metals company Inc. is an explorer of critical battery metals from polymetallic nodules found on the abyssal seafloor. Its competitive moat is derived from its exclusive access to large, high-grade nodule deposits in the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean, offering a potentially lower-impact and less costly alternative to land-based mining for nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese. TMC positions itself as a pioneering leader in the emerging deep-sea resource industry, aiming to provide sustainable metal supplies.
