Name Change Reflects Commitment to Responsible, Environmentally Conscious Critical Minerals Development and Mission-Driven, Sustainability-Oriented Subsea Minerals Platform
Rebranding Supports Transition Toward the Public Markets and Positions Company for Next Phase of Growth
MT. PLEASANT, SC / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / Deep Sea Rare Minerals, Inc. (“DSRM”), an American company advancing U.S. critical minerals independence through the responsible exploration and development of subsea mineral resources, is changing the Company’s name to Eco Minerals, Inc.
To reflect this transition, Eco Minerals has launched a new website at www.ecominerals.com introducing a unified platform to learn more about the Company’s focus on exploration and recovery of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone and the Western Pacific near Guam. These mineral-rich resources represent a compelling, environmentally differentiated alternative to conventional terrestrial mining.
Management Commentary
Tony Romeo, CEO of Eco Minerals, commented, “The name Eco Minerals represents our thoughtful approach to mineral exploration, with environmental considerations guiding every aspect of our deep-sea mining operations. With our NOAA application now in full compliance and priority rights to over 150,000 square kilometers, we believe this is the time to rebrand the Company to better reflect who we are becoming. We are excited about the opportunities ahead for Eco Minerals as we continue to execute and scale the platform into the next phase of growth.”
Tony concluded by noting, “And as a subtle nod to our roots, the Company’s new logo includes a small throwback to the Amelia Earhart mystery which, to the careful observer, serves as a subtle clue as to where to search next.”
The name change, formalized through an amendment to the Company’s Delaware certificate of incorporation, is effective immediately. All references to the Company going forward will reflect the Eco Minerals name. All ongoing contracts, regulatory submissions, and corporate filings are being updated to reflect the Eco Minerals name.
