Description:
The Federal Institute for Geosciences and natural Resources (BGR) has
been exploring manganese nodules in a 75.000 km2 area in the central
equatorial Pacific since 2006. The economic potential of the nodules
results from their high and rather uniform Cu+Ni+Co content.
Exploration activities focus on a detailed assessment of nodule
abundance using a combined utilization of remote acoustic methods,
close-up video mapping and selective box core sampling. In this paper,
we briefly describe the technology used and present first results.
