TMC the metals company Inc
TMC the metals co., Inc. is engaged in nodule collecting and onshore processing systems. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia and currently employs 31 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2020-06-26. The firm is focused on metal recovery from polymetallic nodules to support demand from battery and electric vehicle production through the development of a process that produces metals from the polymetallic nodules with zero solid processing waste. Its products include nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, copper and manganese. The firm's polymetallic nodule collection reduces the environmental and social impact of primary metal production, and a flow sheet that it expects could lead to the substantial reduction or elimination of tailings.

Technical Milestones: TMC achieved industry firsts, including producing battery-grade manganese sulfate from nodules, and continues to advance its mining technology.
Regulatory Progress: NOAA is streamlining the permitting process, and TMC expects its applications to move forward now that the U.S. government has resumed normal operations.
