See how fast it rose on talk. Well I think 10.00 will be possible in the blink of an eye once a permit is granted.

FYI good times ahead.
02:11 PM EDT, 03/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The White House is considering an executive order to expedite deep-sea mining permits, potentially bypassing the United Nations-backed International Seabed Authority, Reuters reported Monday, citing two people with direct knowledge of the deliberations.
The order, if signed, would allow miners to seek approval through the US Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's mining code instead of the ISA, the sources reportedly said.
Glencore-backed TMC the metals company (TMC) formally requested Washington for deep-sea mining permits last Thursday, according to Reuters.

I am sorry you are not impressed. Others are like you, They are selling some shares. I just grabbed another few hundred. Great time to buy along with the heavy hitter insiders.
A person with 32 million shares and buying more must have faith. I would always go with the president on this than against him.

Well look at that. Did they have that old bucket of rust towed to Malaysia ? It’s sitting in the Brunei Bay anchorage

Nicer place than that scrapyard dock in Korea

Is the boat still classed or is it heading to a salvage yard for scrap ? I don’t see the vessel on the AllSeas website anymore. I think it’s a fairly accurate statement to say the boat has spent its last 4-5 years at anchor or tied to a dock

Not impressed

Oh, I see . It was about two years ago you looked.
Keep looking. Or, get on the conference call Thursday.

Last I looked the Hidden Gem was tied fast to a scrap dock in Korea. It’s been the quite awhile. Before that it sat anchored off the coast of Mexico for well over a year

I think it’s lost its classifications.

You must not keep up with the ship. It has been out doing research . Research to show mining will not cause damages to the ocean.
And insider buying(of millions of shares) is a good sign. Correct??

Looking closely at the buying by the management I conclude one thing. That is the conference call Thursday will be good in my opinion.
Craig sold shares a month or so ago. Now buying with the others. They have done so just days prior to the conference call. Millions of shares!!!!
Fingers crossed for huge news this Thursday.

The precious vessel “Hidden Gem” hasn’t been used in years and rusting away in salt water. It’s been sitting so long the vessel will require refitting, and inspections to regain their classifications.

The chairman just picked up another 2 million shares . This takes his holdings to about 41 million shares. Good news the top insider is what I would call all in.

Already have had most of my shares for over a year. Going to keep holding to get long term capital gains. Also, I believe this company will pay dividends once they are processing the nodules.
Great stock in my opinion to stash a little handful of shares away for potentially huge returns. Just need the dang permit !

TMC has tremendous interest. After hours run.

TMC Good news today:

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) (“TMC” or the “Company”), an explorer of the world’s largest undeveloped resource of critical battery metals, today announced that it had successfully produced a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt alloy and manganese silicate during a smelting campaign, run as part of the 18-month feasibility program designed to process a 2,000-tonne sample of deep-seafloor polymetallic nodules at its partner PAMCO’s Rotary Kiln Electric-Arc Furnace (RKEF) operating facility in Hachinohe,

Our Government is looking for rate earth metals.
The purchase of Greenland. One reason is their metals.
An end to the Russian war. One thing we want is to get some of their metals as a way to get repaid for the money we have wasted over there.
So, when the topic of our nodules comes up TMC stock will skyrocket over night. When that happens you will be left behind. Just my opinion but, the stars are getting aligned for this.

Looks like you should be back in now.
I can’t imagine with all the potential this stock isn’t higher. Just stashing a few shares away could pay off hugely . All that is needed is for Trump to increase our security by getting a stockpile of metals and minerals to decrease our reliance on China.

TMC is up 25 percent today. Fingers crossed we have a few more days like this.
With one of Elon’s former employees involved in TMC I am sure he is aware of what is happening.

That is good news. Thanks for the information.

I still agree with you. TMC at least $50.00 .
We just need the permit. I think Elon will push for it.

News out. Our government is still involved in making this happen. 25 percent Friday. Who knows where we go today.

Insider reporting buying more shares. Great news . Price up 25 percent today.

That word honk should have been think in my previous post.

Does anyone remember when TMC said they expected to be recovering nodules? It was reported about 9 months ago. I honk they said sometime in 2025.

It has been found that the nodules produce oxygen. Here is an article:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dark-oxygen-discovered-coming-from-mineral-deposits-on-deep-seafloor/
It addresses the mining question near the end:
>
I learned about this from this video:

If you look at the comments, everyone is saying that the mining must stop immediately.

Blood in the streets. Time to buy.

Hey Whats going on ...Down we go Anyone have any thoughts ?? D Man

TMC was a segment on last week tonight with John Oliver today

NEW YORK, May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) (“TMC” or the “Company”), an explorer of the world’s largest estimated undeveloped source of critical battery metals, today announced that its subsidiary NORI has made a second submission of key environmental data from all prior environmental baseline campaigns conducted in the NORI-D exploration area up to January 2022 to DeepData, an open database of contractor data managed by the International Seabed Authority (ISA).

The submission of this massive batch of data, which includes analysis of an extensive set of geochemical and biological samples from across the water column, follows NORI’s decade-long research efforts to define the polymetallic nodule resource and develop an environmental baseline for its NORI-D exploration area, as part of its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the NORI-D Nodule Project. Since 2012, the Company has collaborated with leading industry experts and independent scientists from marine research institutions from around the world on its ESIA, gathering data throughout 22 offshore campaigns.

Dr Michael Clarke, Environmental Manager at The Metals Company, said: “This accumulation of baseline data over the last decade represents the most comprehensive dataset ever collected in the CCZ. When combined and compared with the wealth of data gathered during our 2022 test mining and post-disturbance monitoring campaigns, we believe preliminary analysis is demonstrating that much of the conjecture around environmental impacts of nodule collection is not supported by the science. We are looking forward to submitting the Environmental Impact Statement to the ISA and publishing the dozens of academic papers that will result from this work. When this information becomes available, I am confident that objective stakeholders will clearly see that deep-sea nodule collection is a far less impactful way to source critical metals than mining on land.”

This year's ISA data submission highlights include:

Over 12,000 seafloor images from Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) operations, leading to:
Annotation and identification of over 30,000 megafauna and xenophyophores occurrences by the UK National Oceanography Centre.
More than 2,000 gelatinous nekton identified by JAMSTEC from high-definition ROV video transects conducted from surface to seafloor.
Data from over 50 deployments of MOCNESS nets, yielding:
Almost 3,000 samples of pelagic biota (micronekton).
World-first samples from depths exceeding 4,000 meters.
Extensive zooplankton samples from 1,500 meters to characterize zooplankton communities.
Three-year data collection from oceanographic moorings providing insights into particulate organic carbon flux in the Eastern CCZ.
Over the coming months, NORI will continue working with research teams to fully collate and categorize the hundreds of terabytes of data and thousands of biological samples that have been collected to date. NORI expects numerous further papers to be published in peer-reviewed journals in the coming months and years, adding significantly to society’s understanding of the deep sea.

Since the late 1960s, over 300 hundred offshore campaigns have been conducted in international waters, with over $2 billion invested in environmental baseline and impact studies and technology development, with most of the capital invested by private companies. To address knowledge gaps, governments and contractors like NORI have spent over 9,000 days – the equivalent of almost 25 years – at sea, assessing the deep-sea environment, research and investment which has accelerated significantly since the establishment of the ISA’s exploration regime.

So far, it looks like the rule-of-thumb is playing out exactly as predicted. LTBR announced bad news.

Lightbridge Q1 EPS $(0.21) Down From $(0.17) YoY

Lightbridge (NASDAQ:LTBR) reported quarterly losses of $(0.21) per share. This is a 23.53 percent decrease over losses of $(0.17) per share from the same period last year.

Glad to see the board active. Let’s keep the interest in TMC up

The MMs are going to play with the price today to try and get some weak hands to sell their shares. Don't fall for it.

The high volume tells you everything you need to know. At the end of the day, I think we'll definitely be on the upside. Hold tight!

My expectations for really good news on Monday has just increased substantially.

It's filled. That means someone just invested $612,000 in TMC this morning.

Holy Smoke! The bid has 400,000 shares @ $1.53 right now.

Someone is taking a BIG position in TMC.

Well, before they poured money into the ship they had to make sure that they had the necessary governmental backing from the United States. Now that they've finally received that support, I think they can safely move to the next step.

What do you think?

I don’t disagree, they just need to get off the ground, but in the meantime go take care of their ship and have it in Bristol condition for when mining begins. Sitting at anchor for a year off Mexico doesn’t help anyone

Me too. It would be nice to see others join in.

If TMC management executes everything as planned, you can make a small fortune with just 5 - 10 thousand shares.

I am glad to see activity again on this board discussing the various events and happenings of TMC

As a rule of thumb, you always want to announce good news at the beginning of the week...so it will create upward momentum for your stock price...and reverberate throughout the week.

Likewise, if you have bad news, you want to announce it at the end of the week (like Friday) so investors can't sell their shares right away and cause an avalanche in the share price throughout the week.

Below is a good example of two companies preparing to make announcements...one on Monday and one of Friday.

The Metals Company Announces First Quarter 2024 Corporate Update Conference Call for Monday, May 13, 2024

Lightbridge to Hold Business Update & First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call on Friday, May 10th at 11 a.m. ET

Please note that I have no idea what is going to be announced. Both companies could announce bad news...or good news. But it will be interesting to see if the "rule of thumb" above plays out as theorized.

Wow...once again, the volume of today's trading has surpassed 1 million shares, and we still have 4 hours of trading to go.

There's an old saying: "volume before price". Let's see what happens after Monday's announcement.

Obviously, the high-tech equipment will be removed from the Hidden Gem and installed onto another ship. This is just common sense.

And like I said before, this is a worse case scenario. For all we know, the Hidden Gem could be ready for service when they start their underwater mining in January, 2026.

Oh, so there are several drill ships in the world waiting around custom high spec outfitted for the needs of TMS ? (TMC)

I doubt that since they spent so much money a few years ago outfitting the Hidden Gem for AllSeas/TMC. AllSeas doesn’t own another drill ship nor any other similar classed vessel like the Hidden Gem “aka Hidden Scrap”

Worse case scenario is that they scrap the ship and lease a newer one. With all of the new money that is coming in, that should be easy to accomplish.

The ship can be repaired in due time. You have to look at the company's broader financial health and where it's heading.

We have new high-caliber people joining the company: Steve Jurvetson, a Renowned Silicon Valley Investor, Joins TMC's Board of Directors as Vice Chairman and Special Advisor to the CEO

More importantly, TMC has no debt...and a new unsecured credit facility has just announced their support. (See below)

Gerard Barron, CEO & Chairman of The Metals Company commented: "Over the last 12 years, we've completed 22 offshore campaigns on the NORI-D area to build a data-driven picture of the marine environment and how it is impacted by nodule collection. NORI's investment in research by the world's leading deep-sea research institutions has produced the most comprehensive dataset ever collected in the CCZ and a fair bit of excitement among the researchers. Our latest campaign to assess the state of the ecosystem 12 months after the nodule collection pilot finished earlier this month, and the observed state of the seafloor ecosystem was encouraging. We believe we now have sufficient real-world data to address most of the concerns raised by those who oppose the industry, and we look forward to researchers publishing their findings in peer-reviewed literature and NORI submitting its Environmental Impact Statement to the International Seabed Authority (ISA). Perceptions of the environmental peril of nodule collection are starting to be publicly challenged by ocean scientists: it was exciting to see an influential group like the Breakthrough Institute publicly weigh into the debate."

"We are also encouraged by the pace of U.S. initiatives aimed at supporting domestic processing and refining of polymetallic nodules, as well as re-invigorated calls for the U.S. to ratify the Law of the Sea treaty and take advantage of Member State rights that come with the ratification. Meanwhile, two new applications for deep-sea mineral exploration have recently been submitted to the ISA by the government of India. With support for deep-sea minerals growing, I'm happy to provide additional financial flexibility to TMC in the form of a new unsecured credit facility alongside our director and largest shareholder Andrei Karkar, which is in addition to the existing and recently extended Allseas credit facility. As discussions with potential strategic partners continue, these significant sources of liquidity from our three largest shareholders will help ensure that we can deliver a world-class application for an exploitation contract following the July 2024 ISA session."

First quarter financials with their boat docked in Korea at a salvage scrap yard. Yes this sounds very promising. Since the Hidden Gem sat almost abandoned at anchorage off the coast of Mexico, it is certainly time for dry dock and Lloyd’s reclassification.

This should be renamed TMS for The Metals Scams, in my opinion

There's a beautiful 6-month upward trend line. In fact, it looks like it's now at the bottom of the trend line...and I don't seeing it going much lower from here.
I just bought a ton of shares.

Volume at 930,000 shares with 4+ hours of trading to go.

It's 10-day average is 1.1 Million shares...so we've practically hit the daily average already!
