TMC the metals company Inc. reports that the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the USA-B exploration license application submitted by its subsidiary, TMC USA, under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act. The USA-B area in the Clarion Clipperton Zone covers about 122,000 km2 of seafloor and hosts an estimated 1.02 billion tonnes of polymetallic nodules containing nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese and rare earth elements, based on TMC’s 2025 technical report. NOAA’s action is described as a key step in a transparent regulatory review that will include a draft EIS and draft terms, conditions and restrictions, a public comment period, and a final decision on whether to issue the exploration license.
TMC the metals company Inc. is a development-stage deep seabed minerals company with no operating revenue, reporting a net loss of $60.1 million for the quarter and $80.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with losses of $74.3 million and $94.9 million in the prior-year periods. Operating expenses rose sharply, driven by a jump in exploration and evaluation expenses to $56.1 million in the quarter, largely from mining, technology and process development and the new Allseas commercial nodule collection system agreement.
Cash was $98.7 million at June 30, 2026 (down from $117.6 million at year-end), with operating cash use of $20.7 million in the first half and modest financing inflows from option exercises and the employee share purchase plan. The balance sheet shows a substantial royalty liability of $145.0 million and negative equity of $27.4 million. TMC recorded a $23.1 million gain on dilution of its equity-method investment in The Metals Royalty Company, partially offsetting higher operating costs. On the regulatory front, its U.S. subsidiary’s consolidated application under DSHMRA for a CCZ exploration license and commercial recovery permit has been found in full compliance and advanced to certification and environmental review stages, while ISA contract extensions and related proceedings continue.
TMC the metals company Inc. reported second quarter 2026 results and a broad regulatory and project update. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the company recorded a net loss of $60.1 million, or $0.14 per share, improving from a $74.3 million loss a year earlier. Exploration and evaluation expenses rose sharply to $56.1 million from $10.5 million, driven by a $37.2 million settlement of initial and negotiated costs owed to Allseas and higher share-based compensation and prefeasibility study spending. General and administrative expenses increased to $15.6 million from $11.5 million. At June 30, 2026, TMC held $98.7 million in cash, reported no financial debt, and stated it believes this liquidity will cover working capital and capex needs for at least the next twelve months.
Regulatory milestones included NOAA determining TMC USA’s consolidated USA-A deep-seabed mining application is in full compliance and formally certifying the USA-B exploration license application. The USA-A area covers about 65,000 km² with an estimated 619 million tonnes of polymetallic nodules plus potential upside, while USA-B spans about 122,000 km² with an estimated 1.02 billion tonnes. Internationally, the Seabed Disputes Chamber of ITLOS ordered provisional measures protecting the due process rights of TMC subsidiaries NORI and TOML, and the ISA Council approved a five-year extension of NORI’s exploration contract.
On the project side, TMC and Allseas signed a commercial agreement for the first offshore nodule recovery system, targeting commissioning in Q4 2027 with a nameplate capacity of 3.0 million wet tonnes of nodules per year, subject to approvals.
