Polymetallic Nodules

Polymetallic Nodules is a marine mineral resource composed of concentrically layered, manganese- and iron-rich mineral precipitates that form on the abyssal seafloor through hydrogenetic and diagenetic processes, distinguished by their economic enrichment in nickel, copper, cobalt, and other critical metals.
