About Adepth

Critical mineral zones

The Mohns and Knipovich Ridge are located within the 281,000 square kilometers allocated for mineral activities on the Norwegian continental shelf. These ridges host hydrothermal vents that may contain critical minerals like copper, cobalt, and rare earth elements, which are vital for the renewable energy transition.

Seabed core sampling

Adepth utilizes advanced core sampling techniques to collect crucial data from bedrock at depths of up to 4,000 meters. This data is essential for assessing mineral distribution and potential, benefiting both research and commercial deep-sea mining efforts.

Resource estimation and assessment

Our approach to understanding the seabed integrates advanced technology and unmatched expertise in ocean floor mapping and analysis. We enable responsible exploration and resource discovery with minimal environmental impact.

Critical minerals

Minerals play a vital role in the renewable energy system. Clean energy technologies require 4-6x more materials compared to traditional energy systems.

Copper (Cu)

Copper is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, and industrial applications.

Copper (Cu)
Zink (Zn)

Zink is used in the production of alloys, such as brass, as well as in the manufacturing of batteries, coatings, and plastics.

Zink (Zn)
Cobalt (Co)

Cobalt, a magnetic and ductile metal, is mainly used for making superalloys, rechargeable batteries, and magnetic materials.
