Technical Session
Marine mining is on the cusp, in both international waters and within EEZs of several countries including the Cook Islands, Norway and the United States. This session covers AI-driven new production technologies, the latest in geophysical mapping, ship to ship transfer and national critical mineral development and licensing programs. Polymetallic nodules, cobalt rich crusts, seafloor massive sulfides and other types of deposits will be discussed.
