The Trump administration has made American reindustrialization a top priority, but to do that, the US is going to need access to an abundance of metals like copper, manganese and nickel. The challenge then is to find a way to source these materials that doesn't rely on Chinese supply chains, and won't lead to serious environmental harm.Gerard Barron is the co-founder, CEO and chairman of The Metals Company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol TMC. The Metals Company mission is to harvest and process metal-containing nodules from the sea floor, providing a clean and abundant source of raw materials for an array of critical industries, like steelmaking and EV production. Gerard walks us through the evolution of TMC, their groundbreaking tech, and some recent regulatory breakthroughs that have brought them closer to achieving their goals than ever before.

In 1970, marine architect Charlie Canby got an odd assignment: Design a 600-foot ship for an undisclosed purpose and an undisclosed customer. Only after it was built did he finally find out what it was for. “I was dumbfounded,” he said. “I drove away in a daze. I could not believe what we were really doing.”In this episode, reporter Daniel Ackerman tells the unbelievable story of a boat, a government conspiracy, and the birth of a new industry that could change the way we look at oceans forever. Featuring Charlie Canby, Andrew Thaler, Wernher Krutein, and Hank Philippi RyanProduced by Daniel Ackerman.

L'émission 28 minutes du 08/07/2025 Vers la création d'un code minier sur les grands fonds marinsDu 7 au 15 juillet 2025 se tiennent des négociations de l'Autorité internationale des fonds marins sur l'exploitation minière en eaux profondes. Les 36 membres du conseil sont réunis afin d'établir un code minier. Ces négociations font suite à la signature par Donald Trump d'un décret autorisant l'exploitation à grande échelle des fonds marins. Une occasion dont s'est saisie l'entreprise canadienne The Metals Company, qui a déposé une demande auprès de l'administration américaine afin d'exploiter les métaux rares du plancher océanique. Un projet dont l'impact sur la vie marine a été pointé du doigt par plusieurs études. Pour décrypter ces enjeux marins, nous recevons Marina Levy, directrice de recherches au CNRS et océanographe spécialiste des relations entre climat, biodiversité marine et océans. La chercheuse, qui tente d'apporter des solutions, est aux premières loges "de la catastrophe", mais ne se dit pas pour autant "éco-dépressive".Netanyahu prêt à un cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza ?Lundi 7 juillet, Benjamin Netanyahu a été reçu à la Maison Blanche par Donald Trump pour la troisième fois depuis janvier. Les deux homologues cherchent à s'entendre sur un possible accord de cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza, qui entre dans son 21e mois de guerre. Donald Trump, qui affirmait en février vouloir transformer la bande de Gaza "en Côte d'Azur du Moyen-Orient" et a apporté son concours à Israël dans sa guerre contre l'Iran, verrait d'un bon œil une trêve entre Israël et le Hamas, en cours de négociations au Qatar. Mais Benjamin Netanyahu est tiraillé entre la volonté de son inestimable allié américain et celle de son gouvernement, dont la toute aussi inestimable composante d'extrême droite préconise une poursuite des combats. Depuis l'attaque du 7 octobre 2023, menée par le Hamas, l'offensive israélienne dans la bande de Gaza a tué 57 523 Palestiniens, selon un décompte du ministère de la Santé de Gaza, jugé fiable par l'ONU. Face à un bilan humain qui s'alourdit de jour en jour, Benjamin Netanyahu va-t-il enfin mettre en place un cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza ? 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

In the latest episode of Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast David Helvarg and Natasha Benjamin talk with Kim McIntyre, the Executive Director of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, a coalition of 35 aquariums working together to increase their collective impact. Along with helping revive the Peter Benchley Ocean Awards that took place at the National Aquarium in May, the 9-year-old coalition is involved in educating its members' 40 million annual visitors around issues of sustainable seafood, climate change, plastic pollution and more. Kim talks about the changing role of aquariums as conservation hubs for the sea, marine animal rehab and release centers and how many children are transformed by their first visit to an aquarium. Plus, we'll have our ‘Blue News You Can Use': This week on the threat of Deep-Sea Mining that the Trump administration has just embraced.

Elle a vu naître l'exploration des abysses. À la fin des années 1970, alors que la France se lançait dans la recherche sur les environnements profonds, Françoise Gaill embarque pour ses premières campagnes océanographiques. Quelques années plus tard, au début des années 1980, elle effectue une plongée historique dans le Pacifique, à 2 500 mètres de profondeur. Un monde silencieux, hostile, et pourtant d'une richesse biologique inouïe. Très vite, elle comprend : ces écosystèmes sont aussi fascinants que fragiles. Mais le choc, pour elle, viendra d'ailleurs. Un jour, elle entend parler d'un projet américain : proposer à des touristes de visiter les sources hydrothermales… à bord de sous-marins russes. “Un coup de tonnerre”, dit-elle. Car au moment même où les scientifiques commençaient à peine à en découvrir les mystères, d'autres étaient prêts à les commercialiser, voire les détruire.C'est à cette époque qu'émerge l'idée d'un code de conduite international pour protéger les grands fonds marins. En 1994, l'ONU crée l'Autorité internationale des fonds marins (AIFM), tandis que la Convention de Montego Bay proclame les abysses “patrimoine commun de l'humanité”. Mais trente ans plus tard, ces grands principes sont sérieusement mis à mal. Sous prétexte d'urgence climatique, des acteurs veulent désormais exploiter les ressources minières du fond des océans. Exemple récent : The Metals Company, une entreprise canadienne, a demandé un permis pour exploiter le Pacifique. Et en avril, Donald Trump signait un décret visant à faire des États-Unis “le leader mondial de l'exploitation minière des grands fonds”. Un pays qui, rappelons-le, n'a jamais ratifié la convention de Montego Bay.Face à ces menaces, Françoise Gaill ne baisse pas les bras. Elle coordonne aujourd'hui, avec l'ancien président du Muséum d'histoire naturelle Bruno David, un comité scientifique international réclamant un moratoire de 10 à 15 ans. Objectif : gagner du temps. Pour mieux connaître ces fonds, pour évaluer les risques, pour créer un code minier encadré. Et les premières alertes sont déjà là. Une expérience menée dans le Pacifique en 1979 a laissé un sol encore marqué 44 ans plus tard. D'autres études montrent que l'exploitation des fonds marins libérerait des nuages de sédiments toxiques, dangereux pour la faune… et peut-être pour l'humain. “L'océan est un système connecté. Des courants peuvent remonter des virus, perturber la chaîne alimentaire”, prévient la biologiste.Sur le plan économique aussi, elle reste sceptique. “Ce n'est pas rentable. Il y a encore tant à faire sur les terres émergées.” Alors elle poursuit son combat. Avec la juriste Tanya Brodie Rudolph, elle lance l'International Platform for Ocean Sustainability, qui verra officiellement le jour lors de la conférence des Nations unies sur l'océan, en juin 2025 à Nice. L'objectif : donner aux États les outils pour agir vite et bien, sur la base de la connaissance scientifique. Et elle veille aussi à une autre menace montante : le stockage du CO₂ dans les profondeurs. Une solution “climatiquement séduisante”, mais écologiquement risquée. “La vie est fragile. Et c'est notre devoir de la protéger”, conclut-elle. Une voix précieuse, à l'heure où les abysses, trésor ignoré, deviennent la nouvelle frontière des appétits humains. Hébergé par Acast.

Proposed budget cuts for NASA would jeopardize space research. And an executive order could change the political tides for deep sea mining.On May 2, the Trump Administration proposed a 24% budget cut for NASA. It would slash funding for science while setting billions aside for initiatives to send humans to the moon and Mars. New Scientist editor Sophie Bushwick joins us to talk about this, as well as other news in science, like how many U.S. cities are sinking, the search for geologic hydrogen within mountains, the first photos of free-floating atoms, Chinese poetry about porpoises, and cicadas turned into speakers.And, President Trump recently issued an executive order that would fast-track access for deep sea mining. Soon after, a Canadian company called The Metals Company submitted the first application for NOAA to review. This has raised environmental and climate concerns, as well as geopolitical tensions. Ocean geologist Sandor Mulsow breaks down what's at stake for the ocean.Guests:Sophie Bushwick, senior news editor at New Scientist in NYCDr. Sandor Mulsow, marine geologist at the Austral University of ChileTranscript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

An executive order from US president Donald Trump aimed at fast-tracking seabed mining is causing ripples in the Pacific region. Anti-deep sea mining advocates say the order likely risks Nauru's ambitions to mine in an area of the high seas known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Nauru alongside Tonga, Kiribati and Cook Islands, have special rights in the zone through the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and International Seabed Authority. Advocates warn Trump's order, and the behaviour of Canadian mining group The Metals Company, risk these, even though Nauru and Tonga are its partners. Teuila Fua-tai compiled this report.

Donald Trump has signed a controversial executive order aimed at stepping up deep-sea mining within the US and in international waters. The Thursday order is the latest issued by the US president to try to increase America's access to minerals used by the aerospace, green technology and healthcare sectors. Andrew Peach hears from Gerard Barron, Chairman and CEO, The Metals Company, which has been long pushed for permission to mine in the seabed, and Duncan Currie from Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, which is campaigning against mining in the seabed.

Le Premier ministre par intérim Mark Carney, du Parti libéral, est candidat à sa succession et apparaît comme le favori des sondages. En face, Pierre Poilievre, du parti conservateur, perd du terrain. Ex-dirigeant de la Banque du Canada, le chef du Parti libéral Mark Carney met en avant une image d'homme « pragmatique » et « compétent », qui a fait pencher son parti vers le centre, explique notre reporter sur place Marine de La Moissonnière.En face, le conservateur Pierre Poilievre pâtit de sa proximité, dans le fond comme la forme, avec Donald Trump. Tout au long de la campagne électorale canadienne, les vives tensions avec les USA ont pesé. Les élections générales auront lieu lundi 28 avril 2025 au Canada et les résultats seront connus le lendemain. En Bolivie, les incendies ont laissé des traces dans l'Est du paysPlusieurs mois après des incendies sans précédent dans le département de Santa Cruz et la destruction de dix millions d'hectares de forêt, le quotidien est toujours très difficile pour certains habitants. Les communautés autochtones n'ont plus de quoi se nourrir, comme l'a constaté notre correspondant Nils Sabin. Inquiétude des organisations environnementales et des populations autochtones face aux annonces de Donald Trump sur l'exploitation minière des fonds marinsLes scientifiques consultés par le média américain Grist craignent des dangers irréversibles pour les fonds marins et l'ingestion de métal par les poissons, pêchés et consommés par les populations du Pacifique. Grist donne aussi la parole, oui, à un militant hawaiien, Solomon 0Kaho'ohalahala : « Ces extractions sont faites sans se préoccuper de préserver les ressources (…) il n'y a aucune vision de long terme ». Un militant inquiet aussi, rappelle Grist, de la volonté de Donald Trump d'accélérer la délivrance des permis de minage en eaux profondes durant les deux prochains mois.De son côté, l'entreprise canadienne The Metals Company voit d'un bon œil les annonces de Donald Trump. La compagnie minière avait déclaré le mois dernier, rappelle Business Intelligence in British Columbia, son intention de s'enregistrer auprès des autorités américaines pour contourner les règles de l'ONU et ainsi miner les fonds marins entre le Mexique et Hawaii. Ces explorations visent à récolter du nickel, du cuivre, du cobalt et de manganèse, coincés dans des roches à 4 kilomètres sous la surface. « Épines », un film haïtien pour « changer de regard » sur HaïtiL'acteur Mora Junior Étienne et le réalisateur Wil Edvard Germain collaborent tous les deux au film « The path to all evils », « Épines » en français, qui sera projeté le 14 juin en France, au cinéma Le Balzac à Paris. Le film a été tourné dans trois pays différents avec un très faible budget et cherche des financements pour accéder à une plus large diffusion. « Le film parle de couples d'Antillais, notamment Haïtiens, qui laissent leur pays d'origine à la recherche d'une vie meilleure », explique l'acteur Mora Junior Étienne au micro de notre journaliste Lila Olkinuora.Dans la presse haïtienne, le Nouvelliste dresse un bilan plus que négatif de la première année de gouvernance du Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) : « La population vit dans un désespoir inouï, les membres du CPT, le gouvernement et leurs alliés se la coulent douce… très douce (...) et sont incapables de reprendre le contrôle de la situation ».  Des dizaines de Péruviens inscrits à leur insu comme adhérents de partis politiques700 Péruviens ont déposé une plainte pour avoir été affiliés à des partis politiques sans leur consentement, raconte Ojo Publico, un média indépendant péruvien.Les services de l'État traquent depuis toujours les fausses adhésions, une constante de la vie politique locale. D'après Ojo Publico, 238 000 fausses inscriptions ont été identifiées depuis novembre 2023.Ces usurpations d'identité permettent notamment de fournir les 25 000 signatures nécessaires à la création d'un parti. Pour se désaffilier, il fallait payer 10 euros mais les autorités péruviennes y ont finalement renoncé, indique le média public RPP qui s'inquiète, à un an des élections générales, du manque de transparence et de contrôle de la part des services chargés d'encadrer les élections au Pérou. À la Une du journal des Outre-mers, présenté par Benoît Ferrand, journaliste de la 1ère : la baisse des prix de la consommation de 8%, premier bilan après la mise en place du protocole contre la vie chère.

Mining critical minerals has been called the new gold rush. Nickel, copper and other critical minerals are highly sought after in the drive to manufacture new technologies. And some mining companies want to extract these minerals from the deep sea. The Metals Company, a Vancouver-based mining firm, has spent years promoting the idea that mining in the deep ocean has a relatively low environmental impact. Now they want to sidestep an international regulatory body called the International Seabed Authority. We're joined by Catherine Coumins, Research Coordinator and Asia-Pacific Program Coordinator at MiningWatch Canada.

Deep sea mining is making headlines as the United States considers allowing operations within its boundaries. In this episode, Andrew Lewin dives into a recent development involving a Canadian company, The Metals Company, that is pushing to mine the deep sea in US territory. What does this mean for the environment, international law, and ocean conservation? The US government's stance on deep sea mining could shift the global conversation around ocean resource extraction. Andrew explores the political, environmental, and legal implications of this move, the role of the International Seabed Authority, and how listeners can take action to protect the ocean before it's too late.

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 11 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Analysts' Impact, ESG, and Healthcare Stock, Picks Now, I'm always trying to find articles with new investing ideas with an ESG and sustainable focus. In that vein, I'm presenting this article titled These 8 Small-Cap Impact Stocks Tap into the Rapidly Growing Climate Tech Market in Support of a Net-Zero Future. It's by Ari Zoldan and found on nasdaq.com. Here's some of what Mr. Zoldan says about his picks. “1. FuelCell Energy (FCEL) manufactures stationary fuel-cell platforms to help with decarbonizing power and producing hydrogen using fuel cells… The company specifically targets large industrial sources like factories and other large facilities that produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide. 2. Gevo (GEVO) produces decarbonized fuels and chemicals… The company states it is ‘commercializing the next generation of renewable gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel with the potential to achieve zero carbon emissions… Gevo… sees commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products like renewable natural gas and other fuels, chemicals, and plastics. 3. Ideal Power (IPWR) has developed and patented a bidirectional semiconductor power switch designed for use in electric vehicles, EV chargers, renewable energy, energy storage, data centers, solid-state circuit breakers, and other industrial and military applications… two examples utilizing the company's technology (are:) improves the range of EVs and the kilowatt hours harvested from a renewable energy installation. 4. Mullen Automotive (MULN) is an EV manufacturer that designs and builds commercial trucks, passenger vehicles and solid-state polymer battery technology. Interestingly, while most other EV makers build cars that use lithium-ion batteries, Mullen actually uses lithium-sulfur batteries, describing them as being ‘lighter, more efficient,' and having ‘greater range than most EVs in the market.' At this stage, it's still the very early days for Mullen Automotive, although it did see its first recorded revenue in June from the sale of 22 electric cargo vans to the Randy Marion Automotive Group. 5. OPAL Fuels (OPAL) provides complete renewable natural gas solutions for landfills, dairies, and fueling station construction and service. The company uses a vertical waste-to-energy model that combines the upstream production and downstream marketing and distribution of renewable natural gas, providing a scalable, low-cost solution to decarbonize heavy-duty transportation… So far, OPAL Fuels has completed more than 350 fueling stations, renewable natural gas landfills, and dairy projects across the U.S. 6. Sunworks (SUNW) describes its mission as ‘to help businesses and homeowners take control of their electric costs while championing the future of solar.' The company serves customers in 15 states and provides solar services via partner organizations… Sunworks also provides energy storage solutions that work with its commercial solar systems. 7. The Metals Company (TMC) The company describes its mission as ‘to build a carefully managed metal commons that will be used, recovered and reused again and again…' The company mines polymetallic nodules, which are rich sources of the base metals required for battery making and building the infrastructure needed to make the energy transition… They are found unattached to the bottom of the abyssal seafloor, and they don't contain toxic levels of heavy elements like land ores do… Polymetallic nodules are also known as manganese nodules, although they also contain three additional critical metals used in batteries. In addition to manganese, these nodules contain cobalt, nickel and copper, all in a single ore. The Metals Company believes mining these nodules could have a much lower environmental footprint than other forms of mining necessary to obtain the metals needed for making batteries.  8. Workhorse Group (WKHS) stands apart from the generalists in the space by manufacturing electric trucks and drones to support last-mile deliveries… In September, Workhorse announced that it had received approval from the Internal Revenue Service as a qualified manufacturer for the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit. The approval means Workhorse customers are eligible for a credit of up to $40,000 on their purchases of all Workhorse vehicles in 2023 and beyond.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Analysts' Impact, ESG, and Healthcare Stock, Picks This next article is titled 7 Best ESG Stocks to Buy Now. It's by Matt Whittaker and found on money.usnews.com. Now some quotes and details. “If ESG investing interests you, consider these seven ESG stocks, several of which have turned in an impressive year-to-date performance: ESG STOCK YTD RETURN AS OF NOV. 30 Cadence Design Systems Inc. 70.1% Panasonic Holdings Corp. 23.1% Tesla Inc. 94.9% Intel Corp. 73.1% These last three stocks may fall into the category of bargains for buy-and-hold investors, as renewable energy companies have been in a slump but may have a bright future. First Solar Inc. 5.3% Sunrun Inc. -46.3% Orsted A/S  -46.9% 1. Cadence Design Systems Inc. (CDNS) provides software, hardware and intellectual property used to design electronic systems… Trends including artificial intelligence and autonomous driving are fueling electronic design activities and demand for the company's products. 2. Panasonic Holdings Corp. (OTC: PCRFY) This Japanese multinational electronics company is focused on its automotive battery business. It's also involved in green hydrogen, which, unlike the majority of hydrogen produced today, is made with renewably produced electricity instead of fossil fuels… Although Panasonic's stock took a big dip in October, it has been recovering and is now up 23.1% year to date as of Nov. 30. 3. Tesla Inc. (TSLA) this company is the world's biggest EV manufacturer based on its market capitalization of about $758 billion. During the third quarter, the company produced more than 430,000 electric vehicles and delivered more than 435,000. Its revenue grew by 9% on increased vehicle deliveries and growth in other parts of the business. But its net income dropped 44%, in part because of increased operating expenses connected with its Cybertruck and artificial intelligence projects and lower average selling prices. 3. Intel Corp. (INTC) This semiconductor company scores highly on governance and overall ESG metrics in the 2023 JUST Capital ESG rankings… The company also ‘commits to an independent and diverse board governed by 90% independent directors and led by an independent board chair,' JUST Capital says. 4. First Solar Inc. (FSLR) Solar and wind companies have been hit by inflation… [and] rising interest rates… First Solar's shares are down 8.5% over the past 12 months, but they have begun to rebound. In addition to being a renewable energy company, First Solar's ESG chops include that it uses cadmium telluride technology for its solar cells in a process that has a smaller carbon footprint than that of other manufacturers who use polysilicon. Additionally, First Solar isn't reliant on Xinjiang, a polysilicon-producing region in China where the U.S. says Muslim minorities are forced to work against their will. 5. Sunrun Inc. (RUN) This photovoltaic solar and battery storage company hasn't fared as well as First Solar… Its shares are down about 46% year to date as of Nov. 30. But the clouds may part for the stock. According to Stock Analysis, the average 12-month price forecast from 22 stock analysts for Sunrun is $24.95, or roughly double where shares are trading now. During the third quarter, the company added nearly 34,000 customers, a 19% increase year on year. Also, Sunrun is shifting its focus to installing more storage systems, which have better margins than solar panels. 6. Orsted A/S (OTC: DNNGY) which is the largest offshore wind developer in the world, has certainly been facing headwinds. Its shares are down 46.9% so far in 2023. In addition to having trouble with inflation and rising interest rates, Orsted has been hit by supply chain disruptions, especially in the U.S… The company has had to cancel plans for two U.S. offshore wind projects as tax credit and construction permit issues also hampered the plans. But it is continuing with a third. In the long run, the U.S. is relying on offshore wind farms to help power coastal cities, and Orsted is well positioned if industry dynamics change.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Analysts' Impact, ESG, and Healthcare Stock, Picks A favorite sector for ethical and sustainable investors is healthcare. So, I thought this article would interest many of you. It's titled 3 healthcare companies whose social impact is the key to financial performance. It's by Faizan Farooque and seen on equities.com. Here are some brief quotes. “1. Abbott Laboratories (ABT) which emphasizes patient-focused healthcare. 2. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) which is dedicated to achieving net zero carbon emissions and prioritizing environmental health equity. 3. UnitedHealth Group (UNH) which focuses on ‘zero distance' from patients. Central to these companies' ethos is the focus on patient-centric healthcare… This patient-first approach is often complemented by green healthcare technology, ensuring that advancements in health solutions also consider environmental sustainability.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Analysts' Impact, ESG, and Healthcare Stock, Picks From another potentially profitable perspective, we have this article titled Investing in the Circular Economy: 3 Sustainable Stocks. It's by Will Ashworth and seen on investorplace.com. Here are some key quotes from the article. “I'm selecting my three sustainable stocks from the holdings of a Canadian mutual fund — the IA Clarington Inhance Global Equity SRI Class (CCM5010.CF). 1. LVMH (OTCMKTS:LVMUY) is the 8th-largest holding of the mutual fund… ‘The percentage of women in key positions at LVMH [grew] from 23% to 45% between 2007 and 2022,' Bloomberg reported earlier this year. Even better, 65% of its executives and managers are women. 2. Costco (NASDAQ:COST) is the 17th-largest holding… As for the 15 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the company has committed to the ones that most closely align with its business. 3. Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) is the 23rd-largest holding... Autodesk provides cloud-based and desktop software products that help companies design and make things. Businesses using its products include architecture, engineering, construction, media, entertainment and manufacturing… From a sustainability standpoint, Autodesk believes its software products help construction-related businesses save time, energy and costs while reducing waste and carbon emissions.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order. 1) Title: 3 Top-Rated ESG Stocks That Analysts Are Loving Now on investorplace.com.

There has been a standoff in the Pacific Ocean between Greenpeace activists and The Metals Company, which is carrying out an expedition on the Coco to collect data for its plans to begin mining the ocean floor for what are called polymetallic nodules. Is deepsea mining a threat to untouched underwater wilderness? Or is it a way to obtain the metals needed to make batteries to electrify industries with a lower impact than mining on land? We talk to Gerard Barron of The Metals Company, Louisa Casson of Greenpeace and Birgit Liodden of The Ocean Opportunity Lab.

Hear all about ocean-based metals from the Chairman and CEO of The Metals Company, Gerard Barron. On episode 207 of The Green Insider, you will learn how nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, copper, and manganese are mined from the bottom of the ocean.  The Metals Company lifts the polymetallic nodules to … The post Metals From the Bottom of the Ocean to Land on The Green Insider appeared first on eRENEWABLE.

In this episode, hosts Chris Sass and Niall Riddell are joined by Gerard Barron, the CEO & Chair of The Metals Company, who provides a unique perspective on the essential resources needed for our electric vehicle transition.The Metals Company, with over a decade of experience, has made substantial investments in licenses, cutting-edge processes, rigorous environmental assessments, and advanced technology to extract polymetallic nodules from the ocean floor. These remarkable efforts take place in the abyssal zone, a staggering 4,000 meters deep and 1,000 miles off the coast of Mexico.Tune in as we delve into the intricacies of this operation, where robots venture into the deep to recover these nodules, which are then 100% utilized to extract base metals crucial for battery production. Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, and Manganese are the primary metals at play. Join us as we unravel the political, economic, and technological factors that underpin this extraordinary endeavor.

TMC the metals company CFO Craig Shesky and the Head of Stakeholder Engagement Corey McLachlan join Jese Redmond and Dmitry Silversteyn to discuss the roadmap toward the development of an international mining code for deep sea exploitation of the largest known battery metal resource in the world.

We've had the pleasure of conducting 5 great interviews for this particular broadcast of The Ellis Martin Report. First we speak with Craig Shesky of The Metals Company (NASDAQ:TMC). Mr. Shesky clearly outlines the methodology of deep-sea mining for polymetallic nodules, essentially batteries in rocks, consisting of nickel, copper and cobalt. This method of mining has extremely low environmental impact, often less of an impact than fishing! Learn all you need to know and more with this great potential investment opportunity on the NASDAQ. Latin Metals (TSX-V:LMS/OTC:LMSQF) in the business of prospect generation with gold and copper assets in Peru and Argentina. This lean Canadian junior mining company has a tight share structure and partnerships with two majors and one junior with more prospects on the way. We chat with Elyssia Patterson to bring us up to date on all things Latin Metals. Jordan Trimble is the President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V:SYH/OTC:SYHBF). Mr. Trimble is one of the most knowledgeable uranium experts in the junior mining space. He outlines current and possible future market conditions for the metal while reviewing all of the company's JV partnerships junior and major. Mike Sieb is the President of Getchell Gold Corp (CSE:GTCH/OTC:GGLDF). He joins us as a new sponsor of The Ellis Martin report bringing a combination of inferred and indicated resources of over 2 million ounces, and that may just be the beginning as drilling continues at the Fondaway Canyon Gold Project in Nevada. This is a nice find for The Ellis Martin Report The Ellis Martin Report is certainly fond of copper and Adam Smith of Oroco Resource Corp does not disappoint. If you had any doubts about the supply and demand issues with copper, Mr. Smith in this broadcast takes a deep dive into the copper sector offering up its 8.5 billion pound Santo Tomas project in Mexico as the company's potential investment opportunity. We believe that we've brought you incredible potential investment opportunities bur we are biased. We own shares in some of these companies and they are paid sponsors of this program.

280 million EV's worth of battery material is sitting on the ocean floor, but do we need to mine it?The end is nigh for the internal combustion engine Electric vehicles will be phased in across the next decade, with two-thirds of vehicles sold in the US by 2032 mandated to be electric. In California, 100% of cars will need to be electric by 2035. As a result, demand for the critical metals that are needed for EVs is forecast to increase significantly. Every solution creates its own challenges. Electrification is one of the answers to the net zero question, but it's created an issue in itself – where are we going to get the minerals? On this episode, host David Banmiller is joined by Gerard Barron, CEO of The Metals Company. They estimate that there are quantities of metals equivalent to 280 million EVs (comparable to the total US fleet today), sitting on the seabed. Deep see mining is a new frontier – but do we need to start scouring the ocean floor when there's an abundance of metals on the surface? How ecological is the practice? Also joining the discussion to answer these questions is Robbie Diamond, Founder, President and CEO of SAFE. SAFE is an advocacy group for US energy security and economic resiliency by reducing dependency on overseas energy supply. They work to ensure that the US and allies secure key aspects of the technology supply chain.Deep sea mining represents a significant opportunity to alleviate supply chain constraints. The mining, done in international waters, presents a few advantages: minimal impact on ecology (though this is debated, and addressed on the show today), avoidance of issues related to cross-continental delivery and rapid utilisation of resources due to lack of infrastructural hurdles.Despite the potential of deep sea mining to diversify supply chains, there has been some resistance from NGOs and other conservation groups who are hesitant about the potential environmental impacts. Understanding the benefits of deep sea mining and, as we do on the show, confronting its potential drawbacks is crucial.Follow us on Twitter - we're @interchange show, or head to woodmac.com/podcasts for more.

Nickel dropped down to the bottom end of $20-$22,000 range that we've largely been in since the beginning of May – dragged lower along with the rest of the base metal complex as China deflation concerns weighed on the market.  LME inventories are still low.According to statistics from the Stainless Steel Branch of China Iron and Steel Association, China's crude stainless steel production amounted to around 17.59 million tons in the first half of this year, up by 8.2% compared to the same period a year ago.  Among them, the output of Cr-Ni stainless steel (300 series) accounted for the largest proportion at 50.33%, totalling around 8.85 million tons, a year-on-year hike of 11.1%.  (we thought China was slowing down) - seeing cuts in the first half in ROW production after a big surge in 2021/22, but now seeing a turn in the West as well.  Analysts always underestimate stainless growth. Still not seeing any further momentum in nickel sulphate in China, but seeing more nickel directly utilized (in the form of MHP/matte) and more high nickel cathode material produced in Korea.FPX Nickel saw a big drop this week – down by 33% on news that one of the First Nations (FN) groups has made public communications from Tl'azt'en Nation with respect to the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) between Tl'azt'en Nation, family Keyoh Holders, and FPX, and concerns expressed related to resource development.The team at FPX have done a very good job responsibly advancing the project, but sometimes best efforts can't change the view of the local community.  The original 2012 group split into several groups – which may have different views on resource development. Elections in FN communities typically every 2-3 years so can have multiple leadership groups to deal with during the lifespan of the project (think with my old Dumont project, we had 5 different chiefs over 10 years).  The new chief came in a year ago and may be a catalyst for change, maybe another change in the future.Permitting/First Nations risk is real – even the best management team/approach can do everything 100% right, but the community may not want resource development. Encourage every investor to look at First Nations/permitting risk – not just to country, province, but the specific region – look at whether any mines operating in the area, have any operated before, and search for public comments on mining activity in the area. Can always be the first new mine in an area, but comes with lots of risks and need to manage accordingly.This is always been a key concern – 4 major assets that I've been involved with have been in established mining areas - Abitibi Quebec (Dumont), Abitibi area of Ontario (Crawford), Kalgoorlie (Beta Hunt), Manitoba/Snow Lake (Reed).  The Metals Company (TMC) stock has moved significantly higher over the last 2 months and just completed $27 million financing (think highlighted back in June that smaller scale start-up using existing Japanese processing capacity provides a lower capex path to production).  The Metals Company aims to apply next year for a licence to start mining in the Pacific Ocean, with production expected to start as early as the fourth quarter of 2025, it said in a statement.Magna Mining put out some nice drill holes this AM and has been busy retracing about 50% of what it gave up after the PEA announcement.101 FW ZoneMCR-23-041: 3.0% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 1.2 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 31.6 metresMCR-23-042: 4.2% Ni, 1.4% Cu, 1.0 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 27.6 metresGood results but would asterisk them a little bit – when historic drilling – look for step out versus infill, unless filling in some pretty wide gaps.  These holes look like in between 22-003 and 22-005 drilled earlier this year which in turn were between 1003080 and 1003090 and 1163050At the other end of step out level, our neighbour in Timmins, Aston Minerals, has started off their 2023 drilling season with some 500 metre step-outs in their B2 zone which in turn is more than 2 kilometres away from their initial Boomerang resource of 2.5 million tonnes of nickel.On the lithium-nickel front, Widgie Nickel got approval to mine its Faraday lithium deposit – will ship ore to one of the local lithium mines to be processed.Azure Minerals (nickel developer turned lithium developer) turned down $600 million offer from SQM.

As the effects of climate change are increasingly being felt around the world, the need to transition away from fossil fuels is becoming more urgent. An electrified world requires more batteries, which in turn means the demand for metals, such as nickel, is rising. Mining those metals can often have devastating consequences for ecosystems, destroying and polluting vast landscapes. But there is another way to get these metals—from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. an area over 4km below the ocean's surface offers an alternative. The companies proposing to harvest these metals argue that mining the deep sea would be less environmentally damaging than land-based mining. But many ecologists disagree. The Economist's Hal Hodson explores the diversity of deep-sea ecology by visiting Adrain Glover's lab at the Natural History Museum in London. Gerard Barron, the boss of The Metals Company, outlines the case for mining the ocean floor. Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Anna Metaxas, an oceanographer at Dalhousie University, share their concerns over the lack of evidence of the impact of deep-sea mining. Plus, Sue-Lin Wong, The Economist's South East Asia correspondent, reports on the destruction that traditional land-based mining in Indonesia causes to the country's rainforests.

In this episode of Upwell, we chat with Matthieu Rytz, the director and producer of Deep Rising, a new documentary that is premiering this year at Sundance that explores the fate of the deep ocean as a small set of regulators and companies open it up to exploration for rare metals. In the conversation, we discuss what's fueling the global race for nodules at the bottom of the ocean, the impact mining may have on vital marine ecosystems, how The Metals Company secured the licenses for this exploration, and the responsibility of the International Seabed Authority to govern this territory. You can find Matthieu on his website, and learn more about Deep Rising here.

In his latest piece, Secret Data, Tiny Islands and a Quest for Treasure on the Ocean Floor, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Lipton reports on the Seabed Authority, an international agency tasked with regulating mining in parts of the Pacific Ocean, and its relationship to a Canadian mining company. Though the Seabed Authority is tasked with ensuring that mining in the Pacific Ocean will benefit developing countries, Lipton found a much more complicated story when he investigated the relationship between the Seabed Authority and The Metals Company. We discuss his reporting, the complications with regulating metals crucial to the green energy revolution, and environmental concerns over ocean mining.  Read Secret Data, Tiny Islands and a Quest for Treasure on the Ocean Floor Subscribe to our Substack newsletter "The Climate Weekly": https://theclimateweekly.substack.com/ As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.
