Venue\: The Geological Society\, Burlington House\, London

The premier international forum for deep sea mining professionals
As we move into an era of mining the deep-ocean floor\, the world’s most remote and least understood environment\, mining companies are working on overcoming the perceived challenges and developing island nations are watching with interest. As the demand for base metals and minerals surges ever beyond what our land is able to provide\, new technological and technical developments are helping to drive forward this new industry.
The prospect of Deep Sea Mining is becoming a reality. The growing global demand for minerals and rare earth elements in the recent years\, coupled with declining resources on land has got stakeholders interested from across the world to explore the lucrative mineral resources beneath the surface of the seas and invest in deep sea mining. But\, the commercial prospects don’t come without its challenges. There are regulatory\, legal\, financial\, social and technical issues that have to be resolved to make deep sea mining a commercial reality!
