The new agreement ensures continued benefits for Tonga from future seafloor mineral resource development by TOML or other TMC subsidiaries.
The agreement comes amid significant delays at the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in adopting Exploitation Regulations, which were required by 2023 and expected by 2025. These delays have hindered TOML's ability to proceed with commercial exploitation activities. The agreement maintains Tonga's existing financial benefits, training programs, and social initiatives while guaranteeing continuity benefits upon the start of commercial production.
