☆ Norway is gearing up to mine precious metals from the depths of its ocean in a world first
  + stars: | 2024-01-09 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Norway is set to become the first country to move forward with deep-sea mining in its waters. Industry experts don't expect deep-sea mining to start before at least the early 2030s. It could open 108,000 square miles of Norway's national waters to commercial deep-sea mining, per the BBC. AdvertisementThe industry would seek to collect rare minerals like lithium, scandium, and cobalt from nodules and crust found on the ocean floors. AdvertisementThere are very few places in the world where these rare minerals can be found on the surface.

☆ Rare metals found on seabeds could be key to green technology, but mining them could wreak ecological havoc on the ocean floor
  + stars: | 2023-07-22 | by ( Elias Chavez | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The ocean floor has billions of tons of rocks filled with important rare metals used for green technology. But a growing list of countries and corporations are calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. The International Seabed Authority missed its July 9 deadline to approve a set of rules and regulations for deep-sea mining. The missed deadline leaves the door open for companies to apply for mining licenses without proper regulations put in place. Representatives of the agency gathered for a two-week meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, to discuss the future of deep-sea mining.
