Red Sea mining: A new era

Since the discovery of these hot brines in the Red Sea over 20 years ago, a systematic exploration of the Red Sea has been carried out by many different groups. More than 15 deeps, were found, some of them lined with metalliferous muds.

Hydrothermal metalliferous sediments in Red Sea deeps: …

Sediment accumulations within the Red Sea central deeps have unique genesis and properties. We piece together available information to understand their geological setting and formation history, and conduct an extensive sediment characterization study to assess their geotechnical properties in order to anticipate …

New insights into the mineralogy of the Atlantis II Deep …

The Atlantis II Deep of the Red Sea hosts the largest known hydrothermal ore deposit on the ocean floor and the only modern analog of brine pool-type metal deposition. The deposit consists mainly of chemical-clastic sediments with input from basin-scale hydrothermal and detrital sources.

Red Sea mining: A new era

The PPMT established the technical feasibility and environmental acceptability of Red Sea metalliferous muds mining so the next phase is to perform a Pilot Mining Operation (PMO). The scale of the PMO will be ten times larger than the PPMT, and about one tenth of the future Commercial Mining (CM).
