More key dates

Wednesday, 31 July Proposal for a general policy of the Authority for the protection and preservation of the marine environment.

Friday, August 2 morning is set aside to hold the SG election vote.

The majority of the time in the first 2 weeks will be for Mining Code negotiations. Under the mandate of Michael Lodge and with the support of a few pro-mining countries, the ISA Council is now meeting three times a year in an attempt to rush these negotiations. This is in contrast with demands from scientists, civil society, indigenous groups and the growing number of countries supporting a moratorium, who demand time to reflect carefully about the future of the deep ocean.

That's great news! I guess TMC will follow up with there exploitation license application this year. Full speed ahead! Ok, Nautilus. Let's do this! Just announce you are commencing mining operations. List NUSMF on pinksheets. Let the stock go up to a dollar or two, clear a couple billion and you are funded for several years until profitability can be sustained.

That's my hope too HLV - fingers crossed that we've been right all along. Personally, I think the pps is much, much higher than just a couple of bucks too.

"Secondly, let’s take the most straightforward reason of them all – why the DSM industry will happen: IT’S THE LAW. The law – the United Nations Convention Law Of the Sea (UNCLOS) was passed in 1982 by more than 160 countries and came into force in 1994. Apart from being a miracle of international and multilateral legal cooperation, it is a law that literally is unbreakable. 93% of the world’s governments have ratified this law, and changing anything in UNCLOS would take consensus from all of the signatories, which presently includes 168 countries and the EU!"

Sounds like they're doing prep work. Maybe???

So TMC just so happened to use the same exact ship as Nautilus by complete random chance? Or have they been working together this entire time to create the largest seafloor mining company in the world?

*Also how did Nautilus & MV Coco collect the 180 tons of ore mentioned in this article? What tools did they use to do that? Hhmmmm*


"In 2023 the MV Coco was the focal point of a significant international protest against deep sea mining by Greenpeace International. In an over 200-hour demonstration, activists utilised kayaks and climbed aboard the vessel to draw global attention to the environmental dangers posed by The Metals Company (TMC) and its subsidiary, Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. (NORI)."

So is this the exact same ship Nautilus had built that they defaulted on?
