In the 1980s and 1990s, NOAA conducted further research into benthic plumes through its Benthic Impact Experiments program where the agency used a custom-built machine to simulate and study seafloor disturbance. The agency issued comprehensive DSHMRA implementing regulations in 1981 (for exploration licenses) and 1989 (for commercial recovery permits) and has maintained an active licensing program since that time, with multiple exploration licenses renewed on a five-year basis.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About The Metals Company<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The Metals Company is a developer of lower-impact critical metals from seafloor polymetallic nodules, on a dual mission: (1) supply metals for energy, defense, manufacturing and infrastructure with net positive impacts compared to conventional production routes and (2) trace, recover and recycle the metals we supply to help create a metal commons that can be used in perpetuity. The Company has conducted more than a decade of research into the environmental and social impacts of offshore nodule collection and onshore processing.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Company\u2019s strategy to pursue exploration and commercial recovery of seafloor polymetallic nodules under the U.S. regulatory regime; NOAA\u2019s anticipated publication for public comment of a draft EIS and draft Terms, Conditions and Restrictions for TMC USA\u2019s proposed exploration activities on the USA-B area and its consideration of the comments received; the anticipated timing, scope and sequencing of the EIS process, including the duration of any public comment period; the finalization of the EIS and NOAA\u2019s final determination on whether to issue the exploration license and the terms, conditions and restrictions that may be attached to it; the estimated resource potential of the USA-B area, including the estimated tonnage and grades of polymetallic nodules and the presence of rare earth elements; the expectation that exploratory activities under the USA-B exploration license will generate significant new scientific data and that additional peer-reviewed papers will be published based on that data; and the Company\u2019s expectation that publication of the NOI for the USA-B exploration license application, together with the progression of the USA-A consolidated application, advances TMC USA\u2019s broader strategy to unlock the full potential of its U.S. nodule resource. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among other things, NOAA\u2019s review of the USA-B exploration license application and any determinations made during that review, including with respect to the scope of any exploration license that may ultimately be granted; the outcome and timing of regulatory reviews by NOAA under DSHMRA; the scope, timing and outcome of the review conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act (\u201cNEPA\u201d), including the nature and volume of public comments received and any resulting changes to the proposed action; the absence of any mandatory statutory deadline under DSHMRA for completion of NOAA\u2019s review; the risk that any terms, conditions and restrictions ultimately imposed by NOAA are more restrictive than anticipated or render the proposed activities commercially unviable; potential legal challenges in U.S. courts by third parties who claim to be adversely affected or aggrieved by NOAA\u2019s actions, and the risk that TMC USA\u2019s priority rights in the application areas are terminated or successfully challenged; the need for continued policy support from the U.S. executive branch and agencies including NOAA and the Department of Commerce, and the effect of shifts in U.S. political priorities, legal interpretations or agency leadership; opposition to deep-seabed mining from governments, non-governmental organizations and other third parties; the ability to obtain permits from the U.S. government; changes in environmental, mining and other applicable laws and regulations; risks related to strategic partnerships and technology sharing; uncertainties relating to the accuracy of resource estimates; the Company\u2019s need for additional capital to fund the exploratory activities contemplated by the USA-B application and its other development plans, and the availability of such capital on acceptable terms; the outcome of any pending or future litigation; and other risks and uncertainties described in greater detail in the section entitled Risk Factors in the Company\u2019s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2026, in the Company\u2019s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed on May 14, 2026, in the Company\u2019s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, filed on August 13, 2026, and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
