Company Overview

overview logo History and Background

TMC the metals company Inc., formerly DeepGreen Metals, aims to extract polymetallic nodules from the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of the Pacific Ocean seabed. Founded to address the growing demand for battery metals, the company seeks to provide a more sustainable source of these materials compared to land-based mining.

business area logo Core Business Areas

  • Nodule Collection: Focuses on the collection and processing of polymetallic nodules containing nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese from the ocean floor.
  • Metallurgical Processing: Developing and implementing metallurgical processes to extract valuable metals from the collected nodules.
  • Resource Assessment: Conducting resource assessments and environmental impact studies to ensure responsible and sustainable nodule extraction.

leadership logo Leadership and Structure

The company is led by CEO Gerard Barron. Its organizational structure includes departments for exploration, engineering, environmental science, and finance.

Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Polymetallic Nodules: TMC's primary 'product' is the polymetallic nodules themselves. It aims to extract battery metals (nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese) to sell to downstream manufacturers. Market share is currently 0% as they are pre-production. Competitors do not exist as TMC is pioneering this new market.

Market Dynamics

industry overview logo Industry Overview

The deep-sea mining industry is nascent, with significant potential to supply battery metals. However, it faces environmental concerns and regulatory hurdles.

Positioning

TMC aims to be a first mover in the deep-sea mining industry, positioning itself as a sustainable source of battery metals. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive resource assessment and proprietary nodule collection technology.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The TAM for battery metals is estimated in the hundreds of billions of USD annually and growing due to the EV transition. TMC aims to capture a significant portion of this market by providing a reliable and potentially more sustainable source of these metals. Market value is volatile but has seen highs in the 500Billion dollar range in the last 12 months.
