Marine minerals

Argeo’s Deep-Sea Minerals Solution has been developed to address the challenges of remoteness and scale, complex geological setting, as well as environmental sensitivity associated with deep-sea mineral deposits. 

Our fleet of AUV’s are equipped with state-of-the-art sensors delivering valuable high-quality data with applications across the DSM value chain – from Environmental Impact Assessment and early Exploration to Reserves Estimation and Extraction Monitoring. With Argeo’s enabling technology and sensors, these are the most advanced AUV systems commercially available on the market today, equipped with 3’rd party and DSM tailored Argeo sensors and applications.
