TMC and PAMCO have achieved a significant milestone in nodule processing, successfully producing high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt alloy and manganese silicate during a 14-day smelting campaign at PAMCO's facility in Hachinohe, Japan. The campaign processed approximately 450 tonnes of calcine material using a 3,000 kVA DC electric-arc furnace.
The achievement is part of an 18-month feasibility program utilizing a 2,000-tonne nodule sample collected during TMC's 2022 test mining. The process demonstrates TMC's capital-light approach by leveraging PAMCO's existing facility, which has been operational since 1965, eliminating the need for new processing plants.
This milestone supports TMC's preparation to submit the world's first exploitation application for commercial production. In November 2023, TMC signed an MOU with PAMCO to study the feasibility of processing 1.3 million tonnes of wet polymetallic nodules annually.
TMC (Nasdaq: TMC) welcomes new legislation mandating a Defense Department feasibility study on refining polymetallic nodule-derived intermediates into high-purity nickel, cobalt, and copper products. The study, due by end of 2025, will be led by the Industrial Base Policy Office to evaluate options for strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains.
TMC's U.S. subsidiary has applied for a $9 million Defense Production Act Title III grant for domestic refinery feasibility work. The company has already demonstrated success in producing high-grade nickel and cobalt products from nodule intermediates in Ontario, while Pacific Metals Co. in Japan is conducting commercial-scale trials using nodules collected during TMC and Allseas' pilot collection system test.
The initiative, supported by bipartisan lawmakers, aims to address U.S. vulnerabilities in battery supply chains, particularly in nickel refining, as identified in Executive Order 14017.
