Impossible Metals products

Impossible Metals is advancing the Eureka III, a sophisticated selective harvesting vehicle designed to operate within the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ). The vehicle, approximately the size of a 20-foot shipping container, hovers above the seafloor and employs computer vision paired with robotic arms to selectively collect polymetallic nodules. It features two distinct operational modes that determine nodule collection rates of 90% and 50%. This designed variance in collection percentage is intended to assess the environmental impact of harvesting operations. Collaboration with the German Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) focuses on environmental monitoring and includes comprehensive assessments during phased test operations scheduled for execution between 2027 and 2028. This initiative represents part of a broader effort to address the unique challenges of deep-sea mining while observing environmental considerations dictated by public consultations and scientific evaluations.
