About American Metal
American Metal has been established to source critical metals from the seafloor for use in the United States.
American Metal’s leadership team has been at the forefront of the deep-sea minerals sector for more than two decades, building a track record of success in establishing companies that have gone on to become global leaders in deep-sea mineral exploration and environmental studies.
Drawing on this modern expertise, as well as experience from U.S.-led polymetallic nodule exploration and development programs in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone during the 1970s, American Metal is committed to helping the United States reclaim global leadership in deep-sea minerals and strengthen its independence in critical mineral supply.
