TMC the metals company Inc. (TMC) has partnered with Benchmark Mineral Intelligence to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of its NORI-D nodule project. This independent study will evaluate the environmental impacts of producing battery metals from seafloor nodules compared to conventional land ores. Key materials analyzed include nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate. TMC's project aims to meet increasing metal demands for clean energy while minimizing negative environmental effects. The LCA is expected to be completed by mid-Summer 2022.
TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) has successfully completed its North Sea drive test program for a robotic polymetallic nodule collector vehicle designed by Allseas. The tests confirmed the collector's mobility and dynamic positioning in open sea conditions, covering a distance of 4,533 meters. Upcoming trials will involve a four-kilometer-long riser and flexible hoses for future offshore operations in TMC's NORI-D contract area. These advancements are crucial for the regulatory and permitting process with the International Seabed Authority.
TMC the metals company reported a net loss of $19.8 million for Q4 2021, translating to a loss per share of $0.09. The full-year net loss stood at $141.3 million or $0.69 per share, primarily due to high share-based compensations totaling $60.3 million, along with substantial offshore campaign costs. The company's cash reserves of $84.9 million are anticipated to last until Q3 2023. TMC is progressing on its NORI-D project and aims to submit an exploitation contract application to the International Seabed Authority by Q3 2023.
The Metals Company (TMC) announced the successful deployment and testing of its pilot robotic nodule collector vehicle in collaboration with Allseas. This milestone occurred during a wet-test commissioning at the Port of Rotterdam, confirming all critical functions of the vehicle. Full pilot nodule collection trials are anticipated in the Clarion Clipperton Zone later this year. The trials are essential for collecting environmental data for regulatory processes. TMC aims to develop a commercial collection system for polymetallic nodules, sourcing critical battery metals for clean energy technologies.
TMC, an explorer of critical battery metals, announced that its subsidiary NORI has signed a non-binding term sheet with Allseas for a commercial nodule collection system. This system aims for a production capacity of 1.3 million tonnes of wet nodules per year, with expected readiness by Q4 2024. The total development costs are projected to be under EUR 100 million, shared equally by both companies. Initial nodule collection fees are estimated at ~EUR 150 per tonne, potentially decreasing by over 20% as production scales. This project could significantly reduce capital requirements and expedite the transition to commercial production.
TMC, The Metals Company (Nasdaq: TMC), has signed a non-binding MoU with Epsilon Carbon to establish a deep-sea nodule processing plant in India. The targeted capacity is over 1 million tonnes per annum, producing intermediate products for lithium-ion batteries.
