Seafloor deposits:the most important yet least explored resource of CRM
By 2030, 10% of the world's minerals, including cobalt, copper and zinc could come from the ocean floors.
Global annual turnover of marine mineral mining can be expected to grow from virtually nothing to €10 billion by 2030. 2017 CRMs (27)
