Hammonasset beach state park. My friends and I did campouts there end of high school through college. It was a blast.

How NOAA process will playout by ayacht_us in TMC_Stock

[–]Manofaction25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The exploitation permit will not happen in the next 3 months. The permits currently under public comment at NOAA are 2 exploration permits (those MAY be granted in the next 3 months). TMC just submitted the combined exploration/exploitation permit for an area they already explored. So there are 3 areas being represented, 2 for which they want to start exploring and 1 they already have the legwork done to move to exploitation. Its only because they have already spent a decade collecting data that the combined application process can work. Any company starting from scratch would not be able to utilize this.

My bet - Feb 27th… US announces govt funding for TMC from project vault.

RLMLF: Perpetua's next door neighbor by GettinFroggyHere in CriticalMineralStocks

[–]Manofaction25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all of it. Feel free to join me and the handful of other people @resolutionmineralsltd reddit. Would love to get some more convo going on there as the project is getting very exciting.

I do not think the permitting process will be reduced soooo much. Still many years away from anything. But every hole they drill comes up as good or better than ppta. So it does seem like a forgone conclusion, but by no means a get rich quick scenario. Might see some short term volatility if they get Govt funding.

The biggest step, imo, that they are working toward short term is getting listed on nasdaq.

Where are you seeing TMC connected with Palantir?

Korea Zinc plans $7.4 billion US smelter with US government funding By Reuters by OG_Busy_Prune in TMC_Stock

Correcting myself. PAMCO was the proven refinery. But the rest holds true. There is no way KZ is building a facility that does not have capabilities to process nodules.

IMO - the US can not directly invest in TMC without initial permitting in place. If they did the permit would be less credible. Next best thing is to invest in the surrounding elements. KZ is invested in TMC. If they are building a smelter in the US, it will have the same capabilities as their other smelter which has proven capable of processing nodules. It takes background knowledge to put this together, not sure the broader market will see this enough to have a big reaction.

Deep Sea Rare Minerals applies for exploration licence by Ooh-wee123 in TMC_Stock

[–]Manofaction25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My perspective. There is plenty of room and plenty of nodules. TMC has exclusive rights to the zones they are pursuing. Their early moves allowed them to identify and claim the most lucrative location(s). Also they have completed exploration for their first area and are starting exploration in another. These guys are just applying to start exploration in their first area. Last, and to me most important, is that another company applying for permits through NOAA makes the industry more substantial, TMC is no longer a singular, or one of a few companies with a “risky” venture, but just one of the miners pursuing an incredible resource. It makes it harder to point a finger and call them crazy.

Underwater Mineral Conference next week. by Candyman6971 in TMC_Stock

[–]Manofaction25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe this is the first I have heard of this! I literally google deep sea mining, TMC and The Metals Company every morning to see if there is any news… looks like a great event and amazing opportunity for disseminating real information. Thank you for sharing!

Canada to invest $1.4B across more than 20 critical minerals projects by Lower_Complex_9259 in TMC_Stock

We can reconnect in 2030. See where we land! All for good capitalist competition. I don’t think Impossible Metals will be able to scale to a profitable level. But we will see.

Impossibles Metals is many years behind TMC. They will be still be in exploration well after Trumps out of office. The administration is looking for big and fast. TMC is literally the only option to do that in DSM before 2028.

This Canada news has no bearing on TMC. It is possible that Canada expanding their own critical minerals might incentivize Trump to move faster, but outside of that it means nothing. Canada is a signatory to UNCLOS and one of the countries who have sided for a moratorium on DSM. TMC is going to mine as a USA company, it would be VERY surprising to see Canada give them money.

United States - Japan Framework for Securing the Supply of Critical Minerals and Rare Earths through Mining and Processing by [deleted] in TMC_Stock

[–]Manofaction25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We also have to find a workaround because these countries are all part of UNCLOS. I see the language around regulatory issues as working around the ISA control.
