Review of Mining Rates, Environmental Impacts, Metal Values, and Investments for Polymetallic Nodule Mining
Abstract
This chapter reviews different mining rates for polymetallic nodules and evaluates the ensuing environmental impacts as well as metal production with respect to land reserves, metal prices, and projected investments. It is expected that these can be applied for different mineral deposits in other ocean basins as well.
