Our Mission

Deliver minerals for the Green Shift in a responsible manner with as little environmental impact as possible.

We believe that the deep sea could be a source of raw materials for the energy transition. Our primary focus lies on sulfide deposits abundant in copper, with the possibility of yielding additional byproducts such as cobalt, gold, and silver.​
