Successful Proof of Concept for Sustainable Seabed Mining of Critical Minerals with Eureka 1 AUV

Impossible Metals is on a mission to harvest and process critical battery metals from the seabed while protecting the environment. Our prototype vehicle, the Eureka 1 is a new class of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), and it has successfully picked up rocks and brought them to the surface: a key milestone in our development pathway.

Current prototypes developed to harvest nodules are based on dredging technology.
We believe that our Autonomous Vehicle is not only better for the environment, by preventing the loss of biodiversity, but also more economical.
