WHY INVEST IN ODYSSEY

Global demand for critical minerals is accelerating—driven by the clean energy transition and food security challenges. Traditional supply chains cannot keep pace, and governments around the world are now prioritizing responsible subsea mineral development. 

Odyssey Marine Exploration is positioned at the forefront of this shift. With over 30 years of successful subsea exploration, we combine proven operational capabilities with a global network of experts. Our team brings end-to-end experience across the project lifecycle—from research and resource validation to capital strategy, stakeholder engagement, and full-scale operations—backed by partnerships with governments, industry leaders, and scientific institutions. This unmatched expertise reduces geological uncertainty, budgetary pressure, regulatory hurdles, and timeline risks—driving greater value creation across our projects.

Global Policy Tailwinds Accelerate Opportunity

This is a breakthrough moment for Odyssey and for the entire ocean mineral resource sector. Around the world, governments are prioritizing the development of offshore critical minerals as a sustainable source of materials essential to the global economy, food security, and the energy transition.

In the United States, momentum is building as critical minerals move from policy discussions to actionable projects. Recent executive orders, congressional initiatives, and nearly $1 billion in proposed federal funding underscore the urgency of securing domestic and regional supplies of key resources. At the same time, new cooperation between the U.S. and the Cook Islands reflects a growing alignment on seabed mineral policy and technology, highlighting shared strategic interests and further reinforcing the global significance of this sector.

With only a handful of specialized companies offering direct exposure to this emerging sector, Odyssey stands out as one of the few public investment opportunities in ocean mineral development.

Diversified Portfolio

Odyssey works exclusively with sovereign governments—jurisdictions that either already have regulatory frameworks in place or are actively developing them. We believe this approach creates more stable, actionable, and impactful projects over the long term.

Our focus is on minerals that matter—those essential for reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy technologies and improving global food security through enhanced fertilizer production. Our portfolio includes minerals that address different global shortages with distinct timelines, jurisdictions, and return profiles. This diversification allows us to:

  • Mitigate risk across market cycles.
  • Advance multiple catalysts simultaneously.
  • Create scalable, long-term value for shareholders.
  • Unlock transformative returns even with modest success on a single asset.

Our current portfolio includes:

  • PHOSAGMEX, a strategic Mexican fertilizer project 
  • Two licensed exploration projects (OML & CIC) for polymetallic nodules (battery metals) in the Cook Islands 
  • Lihir, a subsea gold project

We will continue to expand our portfolio through our Global Prospectivity program, a proprietary 48-point analysis that uniquely identifies high-grade mineral opportunities in jurisdictions with supportive policies and clear commercialization pathways, thereby rapidly expanding our portfolio. This program led us to recognize high-value opportunities in the U.S., and since 2021, we have been qualified by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to acquire and hold marine mineral leases. We have strategically waited for the right regulatory environment and will consider submitting lease applications based on the new permitting framework that emerges as a result of the Executive Order.
