Deep Sea Mining 101: What you need to know in 2024
Event Details
You are invited to join us at our Deep Sea Mining 101 breakaway session, as part of our events surrounding the Mining Indaba 2024.
In this session our deep sea mining experts, Lisa Koch and Jo Feldman, advise on the latest developments in deep sea mining, and explain why 2024 is the year when we might see the first steps towards exploitation for these vast untapped sources of critical minerals. Lisa and Jo will outline the basics of what investors, operators and commodity purchasers need to know to tap into this opportunity; and how to manage legal, financing, and sovereign risks.
