    Abstract
    This chapter looks at the distribution characteristics of nodules and associated seafloor features so as to provide this information to the industry for designing a suitable mining system. Further, it also looks at different scenarios emerging from mining rates ranging from 1 to 3 Mt year<sup>-1</sup>, in order to optimize mining rate while addressing the environmental concerns. It also suggests certain formulae that can be adopted for estimating any deep-sea mineral with necessary modifications.
