Tech with wicky said this Cobalt mine is not of use for atleast 100 years. Your thoughts?

Given the present context, we cannot draw such a conclusion at all. The profitability and feasibility of deep-sea mining depend on technological, environmental, economic, and regulatory issues and market dynamics. Currently, no comprehensive study has been conducted on this matter in the Indian Ocean surrounding Sri Lanka. The available unpublished data indicates that the ore is abundant and high-grade, making it valuable for extraction with current mining capabilities. You can learn more about deep-sea mining feasibility by reading about the Project Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the Pacific Ocean.

it can be any rare earth meterial. I have not watched the video you mention here, what is the title of that video?

Thank you for the explanation prof. But since Cobalt can be extracted at a lower cost on the ground in Africa, why would anyone go for an expensive deep ocean mine? I hope it's discussed in the full episode
@@xavier2.030 Cobolt is only one of the heavy metals in SL waters. There are many others as well. In the case of Cobolt, gaining access to Cobolt mines in DRC (the largest in Africa) is as challenging as deep-sea mining due to socio-political reasons. Currently, China holds the dominant position in the region.
Yes. We need to watch sea floor mining technology. But Sri Lanka has much bigger issues needing focus. This professor is not saying anything that many already know.
