Past event: Seabed Mining 2014 Conference

Aligning the business case with proven technology

The prospect of Deep Sea Mining is becoming a reality. The growing global demand for minerals and rare earth elements in the recent years, coupled with declining resources on land has got stakeholders interested from across the world to explore the lucrative mineral resources beneath the surface of the seas and invest in deep sea mining. But, the commercial prospects don’t come without its challenges.
