The metals and minerals discovered could be enough to"cover many years of global consumption", according to researchers, who add they could aid in the manufacture of wind turbines and electric vehicles.Norway has discovered what it calls"substantial" levels of metals and minerals on the floor of its extended continental shelf - including rare earth metals, officials have revealed.
The discovery of these elements could help produce parts for wind turbines and electric car batteries, which require things like neodymium and dysprosium to be manufactured. Officials also found there is 38 million tonnes of copper on the seabed, which equates to twice what is mined globally every year, and around 45 million tonnes of zinc in polymetallic sulphides.
Magnesium, niobium, cobalt, which are on the European list of critical minerals, were also discovered, The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, which carried out the research, said:"For several of the metals, the mineral resources are sufficient to cover many years of global consumption.Norway, which is a major global exporter of oil and gas, will now need to decide whether to open the offshore areas to deep-sea miners - a decision that requires the approval of parliament.
