Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. – Minerals for the Future
Initiating coverage of Odyssey Marine Exploration (OMEX), a pioneer in deep-ocean exploration that has pivoted away from exploring shipwrecks and is now using the vast experience accumulated over decades of undersea work to discover, validate, and develop subsea deposits rich in critical metals and minerals that are beneficial to society, including polymetallic nodules containing metals critical to battery production and phosphate, an important fertilizer component.
It’s all over but the waiting. Having completed the evidentiary phase and submitted post-hearing briefs in September 2022, OMEX is currently awaiting the decision of a NAFTA tribunal related to its arbitration against Mexico over what it believes was an illegal denial of an environmental permit to develop a phosphate resource located off the western coast of the country.
The potential for an award of monetary damages may exceed $2 billion and can provide longer-term project funding and development opportunities that would be made possible by such an infusion of capital.
