The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC) is a resource company dedicated to the sustainable sourcing of critical battery metals from deep-sea polymetallic nodules. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, TMC focuses on exploration, evaluation and development of metal-rich nodules located on the ocean floor in the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean. The company’s goal is to secure long-term supplies of nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese to support the transition to clean energy and electric vehicles.
TMC’s primary activities include seabed exploration and environmental baseline studies carried out under licenses granted by the International Seabed Authority. The company deploys advanced autonomous and remotely operated vehicles to collect sample nodules and measure benthic ecosystems. In parallel, TMC advances research and development of nodule collection systems that can selectively harvest metals with minimal physical disturbance and reduced carbon footprint compared to land-based mining.
Founded in 2011 as DeepGreen Metals, the firm rebranded as The Metals Company to reflect its broadened commercial focus. Over the years, TMC has forged partnerships with Pacific Island sponsoring states, academic institutions and technology providers to ensure that its operations meet stringent environmental and social standards. Its exploration rights span multiple blocks between Hawaii and Mexico, while the corporate team engages closely with regional stakeholders to align on best practices for seabed stewardship.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Nav Dhaliwal and an experienced board of directors drawn from the resource, technology and sustainability sectors, TMC is advancing toward commercial production. The organization has assembled a management team with deep expertise in marine science, mining engineering and operational excellence, positioning the company to become a key supplier of sustainable metals needed for the global shift to renewable energy technologies.
