the talks about mining the nodules on the sea floor are very dangerous. it's believed 1/3 of the o2 in the ocean are created via electrolysis from those nodules.

There is actually quite some research about the impact of deep sea mining on the life of the seabed. A more nuanced discussion would have been good

Mining exploration companies are always scams. Canada markets are full of them(dunno why it's Canada but that is where you find them). Somehow this shit popped up and will swipe retail money in a big way. They also have debt and 0 production so the scam will run out of money sooner/later.

Some back of the napkin estimates say that this breaks even. $255/ton cost. The manganese is worth $2.50/ton, the copper and nickel is $200/ton at 2% content averaged, cobalt makes up $100/ton of nodules on the high end and $20/ton on the low end so there MIGHT be some low margin to be had which is typical of mining. These companies should be worth very little but hey maybe it works out and if they get those costs down it might be worth it for just the copper/nickel

WSM make it seem impossible to mine a ocean floor. If so I must have been dreaming when I saw a documentary about a ship mining for diamonds 10 years ago, and Allseas did have a ship ready to go, so then it cant be impossible.

DeBeers have ships that mine the oceans for diamonds and have done so for decades,
all they do is hoover up the material filter it for the diamonds, seal them up in cans and fly them out by helicoptor
while there may be wall street scams there is still a likely chance someone will start hoovering up material from the ocean floors
there's a lot of ocean setting your sights a kilometre deep is ludicrous, anything on the sea will cost way more than you budget, better to look shallower first then develop better methods

Okay, you might be unwilling to "speculate," but you can totally buy puts on these companies, several of which are public. For what reason would you not do it unless you don't have confidence in your thesis?

OMEX doesnt fall within the parameters of this. They focus mainly on fertilizers though.
Well thought summary, but a sample size of 1-2 companies to base this new industry off of is negligent.
Humans have created tiny nano-planets (Circuits) so we can talk to each other in a fraction of a second, the technology will come.

A buddy at work bought the stock at $3 some odd dollars per share. I looked at the revenues. Basically non existent. No thanks. It's $6 something a share now but it's all hype. It's interesting how they're not doing the work and they're just a middleman. Red flags everywhere no thanks.
@seanchen2780

This is probably about establishing legal precedent and for media attention more than actual mining

The environmentalists need to quit pretending to speak for animals. How do they know what octopi want? Maybe they should spend their time helping octopi negotiate a small residual stake in mining so they can afford to move to a better neighborhood. Until environmentalists speak octopi they need to shut it.

so, TMC contracts a company to do the actual mining and another company to process the ores? then what value does TMC itself create? how does that make for a billion plus dollar valuation?

for Allseas to undertake everything The Metals Company (TMC) does, it would need to significantly restructure its entire business operations, which would be a major departure from its current model. By partnering with TMC, Allseas can maintain its core business while gaining an additional revenue stream and equity upside without being fully vested in the risks and complexities of deep-sea mining. Let’s break this down to confirm your understanding and address any remaining loose ends.
So to that end you frame it as a company that has no part but in actuality tmc is the face and operating part of this venture. Yes they are renting or using other companies to get the job done but all startups do this to some ends…. Look at Branson he rented Boeings unused plan and booked flights in advance and signed agreements to pay for fuel 30 days after the flight touches ground. He owned nothing. Allseas is heavily invested in tmc so it pays them to work with tmc to see this through. One can’t operate without the other.
Trump has done shady things in his past but some how we made him out president. Casting doubt on this project by focusing on a millionaires past dealings has some merit but the companies he’s signed with are providing legit structure to the deal.
The equipment works. They have 1.65 billion tonnes of material in stock already. That alone is worth $50 billion dollars.
Tbh if all they did was sign companies to process material this stock would be worth $230+ per share. Or more.
Was a great video though lots of info. I appreciate the effort put into it

As a Papuan, I would like to say that our government is very corrupt and stupid. So it’s really not hard to scam them. Even if they do end up mining and make whole lotta money, the government would probably try seize it 😂
@Christophe-Manga
August 27, 2025 at 7:45 pm
So basically deep sea mining is too expensive for conmerical viability and we haven't even exhausted land resources yet. So any company that says they're going to try is just burning cash for no reason
@andrewsanders5558
August 27, 2025 at 7:45 pm
There was a study done showing that those minerals in the ocean produce oxygen. So it’s possible deep sea mining could get shut down from the environmental impact.

August 27, 2025 at 7:45 pm
ok first part of scam big stupid idea most people won't be able to understand that's impossible really.
second step tell everyone it's easy and because technology
rake in the rubes
cash out rinse repeat
and it's all legal.
best way to roba bank own one lol similar idea
