Overview
TMC collects polymetallic nodules from the CCZ, about 2,400 kilometers southwest of San Diego, for onshore processing in the United States.
- The nodules carry nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese in a single rock, alongside rare earths.
- Founded as DeepGreen Metals in 2011. Began trading on Nasdaq on 9 September 2021 through a business combination with Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corp.
- Runs a capital-light strategy, relying on partners for vessels, engineering and processing capacity.
- Regulatory strategy runs on two tracks: the ISA contracts under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, whose commercial mining code remains unfinished, and United States applications to NOAA under DSHMRA, the 1980 statute revived by Executive Order 14285 of 24 April 2025.

Project economics
- Two studies published in August 2025 cover an estimated 1.6 billion tonne resource.
- The pre-feasibility study covers NORI-D and carries probable reserves.
- The initial assessment covers the remaining NORI blocks and TOML. It is preliminary, with no reserves.
| Measure | 2025 PFS (NORI-D) | 2025 initial assessment | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Capital-light | Contracted | n/a |
| Resource base | 363 Mt | 1,276 Mt | 1,639 Mt |
| Recoverable nodules, wet tonnes | 164 Mt | 670 Mt | 834 Mt |
| Post-tax NPV | US$5.5 billion | US$18.1 billion | US$23.6 billion |
| IRR, real | 27% | 36% | n/a |

Partners
- Allseas Group. Built and tested the pilot collection system that lifted about 3,000 tonnes of nodules from NORI-D in 2022, and is TMC’s largest strategic investor. On 11 May 2026 the two signed a commercial agreement for Allseas to complete, commission and operate the first commercial production system, with a nameplate 3.0 million wet tonnes of nodules a year, using two collector vehicles, a riser, the production vessel Hidden Gem and a transfer vessel. Allseas funds a significant share of pre-production development costs, recoverable out of production revenue.
- Pacific Metals Co. (PAMCO). Calcined and smelted 2,000 tonnes of nodules at its rotary kiln electric furnace plant in Hachinohe, Japan, and is running the processing feasibility work.
- Korea Zinc. Invested US$85.2 million in June 2025 for 19.6 million shares at US$4.34 plus warrants, taking ~5%, and is partnering on United States refining.
- Mariana Minerals. Software-first minerals developer founded by Turner Caldwell, a former Tesla executive, signed as strategic partner to run feasibility work on the Brownsville site. Definitive feasibility and materials testing agreements are still to come.
- Glencore. Holds 50% nickel and copper offtake over part of the contract areas dating to 2012. Its XPS subsidiary smelted nodule-derived calcine in Sudbury, Ontario.
- The Metals Royalty Co. (Nasdaq: TMCR). Holds a 2.0% gross overriding royalty on the NORI area from a 2023 transaction, and began trading on 8 April 2026. TMC owns ~25% of it and retains a right to buy back up to 75% of the royalty.
Where permitting stands
- 22 January 2026: TMC USA submits a consolidated exploration license and commercial recovery permit application to NOAA.
- 9 March 2026: NOAA determines the application is in substantial compliance.
- 28 April 2026: NOAA certifies full compliance. Announced 1 May 2026.
- 28 May 2026: NOAA certifies the USA-B exploration license application.
- Still ahead: publication in the Federal Register, a 60-day public comment period, inter-agency review, a notice of intent for an environmental impact statement, a draft statement with a further 60-day comment period, then a final determination with the final statement and terms, conditions and restrictions.
- TMC expects the license and permit to be granted in the first quarter of 2027.
The ISA track is contested.
- 18 July 2026: the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea issues two orders in the NORI and TOML proceedings. TMC says they require the ISA to respect its subsidiaries’ due process rights; the tribunal declined to halt the ISA’s compliance inquiry.
- 20 July 2026: the ISA Council grants NORI a five-year extension of its exploration contract.
