Summary
Deep sea mining is an industry on the cusp of taking off. Continued progress on the world's first commercial deep sea mining project off the coast of Papua New Guinea, fast-growing exploration activity worldwide, significant government interest and backing, and the reaching of important milestones in the development of regulatory frameworks indicate that the vast expanses of high-grade, varied minerals at the bottom of the world's oceans will not remain untouched for long.
Filling a significant gap in the market research literature, this report provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of this burgeoning new industry segment. It identifies and discusses the pivotal deep sea mining development projects underway worldwide and pinpoints key market players. It summarizes global deep sea mining exploration activity and elaborates key drivers (and barriers) for the new industry.
It quantifies potential market size and provides an extensive overview of deep sea mining regulatory frameworks, including the latest regulatory developments and central points of difference between various jurisdictions. The historical context of deep sea mining and a synopsis of the mineral deposit types of greatest commercial interest - including the valuable metals they contain - are also included.
A key advantage of this report is that it incorporates information on the International Seabed Authority's initial working draft exploitation regulations - released in July 2016 - and provides updates on financing issues and other developments relating to Nautilus Minerals' ground-breaking Solwara 1 project.
