A Deep Sea Minerals Company driven by rapidly evolving U.S. markets and priorities
Deep Sea Minerals Corp. (CSE: SEAS) is advancing a strategic opportunity to secure deep-sea mineral rights through the appropriate regulatory process, aligned with U.S. national security, energy transition, and supply-chain independence priorities.
A Once-in-a-Generation
Resource Opportunity
Deep-sea minerals designated a U.S. national security priority
Federal policy shift accelerating seabed exploration
Limited global competition for prospective seabed areas
Early-stage positioning through concession applications creates asymmetric upside
The Next Frontier of Critical Minerals
Terrestrial Supply Constraints
Declining ore grades, rising costs, environmental opposition, and geopolitical concentration are constraining land-based supply.
Deep-Sea Potential
Polymetallic nodules represent a vast, underexplored resource base mapped by decades of scientific research.
Strategic Independence
Deep-sea resources offer the potential to diversify supply chains away from concentrated global producers.
Long-Life Resource Systems
Multi-metal nodules provide scale, longevity, and supply optionality not available in single-metal deposits.
Polymetallic Nodules:
The Metals of Tomorrow
A single ore body containing multiple U.S.-designated critical minerals essential to modern industry, defense, and energy systems.
Nickel
Cobalt
Manganese
Copper
Rare Earth Elements
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ)
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone is the world’s most extensively studied deep-sea mineral region, hosting polymetallic nodules rich in nickel, cobalt, manganese, and copper.
The Company does not currently operate in the CCZ and has not been granted exploration or commercial recovery permits.
Why the CCZ Matters
- Decades of geological and oceanographic research
- High nodule abundance and favorable seabed characteristics
- Global benchmark region for deep-sea mineral development
- Strategic relevance to U.S. supply-chain resilience
The Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone
The Paradigm Shift in Cook Islands’ Deep-Sea Mining Regulatory Environment
The Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone is widely recognised for its abundant polymetallic nodules containing high-value critical minerals with the potential to support global supply chains. These nodules host nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper and rare earth elements essential to electric vehicles, energy storage, wind power and industrial applications. Supported by a dedicated Seabed Minerals Regulatory Body and a structured licensing framework, the Cook Islands has positioned itself as an early leader in Pacific deep-sea minerals development, offering first-mover access to a frontier mineral system ahead of accelerating global competition and regulatory tightening.

U.S. government, defense, and energy priorities
Aligned with U.S. National Priorities
A January 14, 2026, presidential proclamation formally declares U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals a national security risk and authorizes negotiations and potential trade restrictions to secure alternative supplies.
Deep Sea Minerals Corp. has submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) to secure a deep-sea mineral concession. The Company does not currently operate in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone and has not been granted exploration or commercial recovery permits.
