    Norway finds 'substantial' mineral resources on its seabed

    Norway finds 'substantial' mineral resources on its seabed

    A Norwegian study has found a "substantial" amount of metals and minerals ranging from copper to rare earth metals on the seabed of its extended continental shelf, authorities said on Friday in their first official estimates.

    The Nordic country, a significant oil and gas exporter, is considering whether to open its offshore areas to deep-sea mining, which requires parliament's approval and has sparked environmental concerns.

    "Of the metals found on the seabed in the study area, magnesium, niobium, cobalt, and rare earth minerals are found on the European Commission's list of critical minerals," the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), which conducted the study, said in a statement.

    The resources estimate, covering remote areas in the Norwegian Sea and Greenland Sea, showed there were 38 million tonnes of copper, almost twice the volume mined each year globally, and 45mn tonnes of zinc accumulated in polymetallic sulfides.

    The sulfides, or "black smokers," are found along the mid-ocean ridge, where the magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the sea floor at depths of around 3,000 meters (9,842 feet).
