EARLY Access [Video] with Gerard Barron - Mining The Ocean Floor
Added 2025-08-26 23:30:03 +0000 UTCGerard Barron, born in Queensland, Australia, is the Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of The Metals Company, a position he has held since 2017. A seasoned entrepreneur with a track record in battery technology, media, and future-oriented resource development, Barron leads the company's efforts to harvest polymetallic nodules from the deep ocean floor, providing sustainable sources of critical metals like nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese for electric vehicles and renewable energy.
He previously co-founded DeepGreen in 2011 and assumed full control in 2017, guiding it through a public listing and partnerships to advance environmentally responsible deep-sea mining as an alternative to land-based extraction.
Barron testified before the U.S. Congress in April 2025 on national security and critical minerals, emphasizing the strategic importance of ocean resources. He advocates for innovation in clean tech, reducing mining's ecological footprint, and securing supply chains for the global energy transition, often speaking at forums like the St. Gallen Symposium and GESDA.

20,000 related US companies gone, along with 2.5 M M jobs in just 20 years. None of us have any idea how far the NWO and radical left has pushed the US to the brink of becoming a serfdom to the world. This is a must-listen. Barron was far too kind in speaking of the NWO and the NGO's that are trying to end US dominance and power.

2025-09-09 18:19:12 +0000 UTCIn the tech industry A small amount of rare and not so rare earth minerals will actually decrease the strain on our planets resources. EV batteries, solar panels( bigger than a one family home) or wind mills are a negative return on our planet’s resources

2025-09-01 00:54:05 +0000 UTCI deal in natural minerals! In the USA! Many many minerals in our earth! I watched your show on YouTube. But I help a lot of folks with natural minerals in stone form! I believe we have what we need instead of meds created! Magnesium is an important product! Mine is from Holland sea floor

2025-08-28 23:53:16 +0000 UTCAfter the coin base interview the stock tanked 30% I’m curious if TMC will follow with a fleecing
Mark Moirano
2025-08-28 00:29:56 +0000 UTCGreat investment opportunity! $TMC
Victor Baillif
2025-08-28 00:26:15 +0000 UTCThe fact is that TMC has put more money than anyone into researching the environmental effects. They will release the report to the public when they have the proper licenses. Until then it’s just negative speculation spread mostly by agency’s that have their own agenda.

2025-08-27 22:28:47 +0000 UTCI watch zero network TV. Not even Fox News. I watch people if integrity like Shawn Ryan & Tucker Carlson. Zero CIA controlled media. Zero.

2025-08-27 22:13:51 +0000 UTCExcited to tap into this one
Pete
2025-08-27 20:03:58 +0000 UTCI’d be curious to know if he thinks China has been funding NGO’s, to hassle all of the different governments. NGO’s bullying governments about this is definitely in their wheelhouse however, with added funding from China they’d be able to scale up efforts, in order to help shut down the projects. France is a perfect example. 🤔

2025-08-27 03:23:55 +0000 UTCAJ did a show on this. I wish you would have asked what impact this could have on ocean currents and if this will effect the earth’s natural electrical grid.
