About

TMC the metals company Inc. is a deep-sea minerals exploration and development company focused on sourcing critical battery metals from the ocean floor to support the global energy transition. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, the company specializes in the collection, processing, and refining of polymetallic nodules—rich deposits containing nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese—from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. These metals are essential for manufacturing electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy technologies, steel production, and electrical transmission systems. TMC employs both offshore collection operations and onshore metallurgical processing to extract battery-grade materials from nodules, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional land-based mining. The company holds exploration and commercial rights in polymetallic nodule contract areas and pursues a capital-efficient development strategy by partnering with existing offshore and onshore facilities rather than building extensive infrastructure from scratch. As a publicly traded company, TMC aims to provide a sustainable source of metals required for the electrification of transportation and renewable energy infrastructure globally.
