“I firmly believe that in order for the United States to outcompete China in the critical mineral space, we must invest in domestic capabilities to harvest and also refine seabed minerals.” — Gerard Baron, CEO of @themetalsco

Amid some noisy grandstanding coming out of Jamaica this month, this is a good reminder from James Kraska on what is quite obvious: the U.S. has every right to pursue seafloor resources in international waters, and existing U.S. regulations were established to do just that.

Frivolous lawsuit tossed. Court agreed: no legitimate case to be argued. We’re focused on unlocking critical minerals for energy, defense, and infrastructure; not meritless courtroom drama.

As I told @jimcramer on @MadMoneyOnCNBC, we’ve proven that we can collect nodules at scale and turn them into the metals that America will need billions of tonnes more of as it begins to re-industrialize. And we can do it with a fraction of the environmental and social costs of

Great to sit down with @paulanewtonCNN and @CNN to discuss what makes this resource so special — and how, after 14 years of scientific research and pioneering technology development, we stand ready to help the U.S. achieve metals independence for energy, defense & tech. $TMC

The deep-sea needs rules. And the U.S. has them. Great to be back in D.C. and to see my letter published in @TheEconomist as the U.S. steps up its support for responsible offshore mineral development. Full Letter:.Leticia Carvalho, the secretary-general of the International

Sure, it’s been a good first half of the year for $TMC stock, but the trajectory looks even better to me as an entirely new universe of investors start sharpening their pencils. We are slowly getting some credit for 14 years of milestones and de-risking, and believe me: we’re

President Trump’s Apr 24 EO to fast-track polymetallic nodule permitting is a game-changer. 50+ years of research—industry’s ready! The Metals Company is poised to deliver metals independence for energy, defense & tech. 🚀.#CriticalMinerals #MadeInUSA.

🇺🇸 America’s reliance on China & Russia for critical minerals is a risk we can’t afford. Middle East turmoil proves we need secure supply chains now—especially for copper, nickel, cobalt & manganese. 🛠️💡.#MetalsIndependence #EnergySecurity $tmc.

I just heard news from CEO of Allseas that the motion to move to moratorium or precautiony pause on DSM was rejected by Dutch parliament!! Good try Greenpeace, but I’d call that another FAIL. $tmc #allseas.
