Our nation and the world face growing challenges in meeting the rapidly increasing demand for critical minerals used in consumer electronics, batteries, electric vehicles, data-center infrastructure, and advanced defense systems.
Despite soaring demand, reliable supply remains constrained due to limited terrestrial production, geopolitical instability, and fragile supply chains. DSRM aims to be part of the long-term solution by advancing responsible approaches to future deep-sea resource evaluation and potential development
Academic and commercial oceanographic studies have estimated that large quantities of critical minerals may exist on the ocean floor. With recent advances in subsea technologies, it is now technically feasible to evaluate and, subject to licensing and environmental review, potentially one day recover these resources in a sustainable manner
DSRM seeks to position itself for future participation in this emerging industry by pursuing exploration opportunities consistent with U.S. law, environmental best practices, and international standards.
