Author argues TMC is the clearest pure-play beneficiary of Trump speeding permits for deep-sea mining, citing its NOAA authorizations and critical minerals focus.

TMC — LONG The author argues TMC is the clearest pure-play beneficiary of the Trump administration's push to accelerate NOAA permitting for deep-sea mining in international waters. TMC's U.S. subsidiary is already pursuing NOAA authorizations to explore and potentially recover polymetallic nodules rich in nickel, copper, and cobalt. The catalyst is the executive order and press secretary's tweet signaling faster permitting. No specific risk is stated.

$TMC is the clearest “pure play” beneficiary here, in my opinion, because its already in the U.S. permitting lane, with its U.S. subsidiary pursuing NOAA authorizations to explore and potentially recover polymetallic nodules in the high seas.
