Deep Sea Minerals - Vol 2 - Manganese Nodules

Deep sea mineral exploration and mining technology is aimed at the efficient identification and economic extraction of sea-floor mineral resources. To date, no actual mining of nodules (or other deep sea minerals) has taken place. There have recently been significant advances made in offshore technology, engineering, and equipment, predominantly fuelled by the offshore oil and gas, dredging, and telecommunications industries. Much of this technology, especially the trenching technology for laying pipelines, can be applied to deep sea mineral extraction, bring- ing the deep sea mining industry closer to commercialization.
