    Led by The Metals Companys Head of Onshore Development, Dr. Jeffrey Donald, the pilot project team utilized a custom process derived from conventional nickel flowsheets to segregate the base metals contained in the nodules into two concentrated streams: an alloy comprised of critical metals essential for EV batteries and wiring including nickel, cobalt, and copper; and a manganese silicate which can be sold direct to market and further processed to manganese alloy a critical input to steel production.
  • These encouraging results show that nodules could provide an attractive alternative to land-based ores for securing high-volumes of the critical metals needed to achieve energy independence, said Gerard Barron, Chairman and CEO of The Metals Company.
  • With the potential to ship them anywhere in the world for processing, nodules could help solve national supply needs for important metals like nickel and manganese.
