GEM | Mining Consulting Thanks MTS Marine Mineral Resources Committee for Webinar Invitation
On behalf of the entire GEM | Mining Consulting team, we would like to extend our deepest thanks to Alex Barnard for inviting our CEO, Juan Ignacio Guzmán, to present at the recent webinar organized by the Marine Mineral Resources Committee of the Marine Technology Society (MTS). This event, focused on the extraction of polymetallic nodules, brought together industry experts to share knowledge and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by this emerging field of deep-sea mining.
During his presentation, Juan Ignacio Guzmán delivered a comprehensive analysis on the “Fundamentals of Mining Economics for Polymetallic Nodule Extraction.” His talk covered everything from technical and economic aspects to the environmental considerations that are crucial in making strategic decisions for the exploitation of these resources. A key highlight of his presentation was the introduction of a Net Present Value (NPV) model, which proved to be a valuable tool for assessing the economic feasibility of mining projects on the seabed. This model was met with great interest by attendees, who recognized its utility in planning and evaluating future mining operations in this sector.
Juan Ignacio’s participation not only reinforced GEM’s position as a leader in mining consultancy but also underscored our commitment to advancing responsible and sustainable mining practices. The extraction of polymetallic nodules represents a new frontier in natural resource exploitation, and at GEM, we are dedicated to developing innovative solutions that balance the utilization of these resources with the preservation of the marine environment.
We would like to reiterate our gratitude to Alex Barnard and the MTS Marine Mineral Resources Committee for providing this platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences. We are convinced that events like this are essential for fostering collaboration among the various industry stakeholders, allowing for the development of technologies and practices that ensure a sustainable future for deep-sea mining.
At GEM, we look forward to future opportunities for collaboration that will enable us to continue contributing to such important discussions and advance the understanding and development of mining economics for polymetallic nodule extractio
