Moana Minerals is a Cook Islands-based mineral resource development company reporting a large defined mineral resource containing substantial quantities of critical metals essential for addressing projected supply shortages necessary for the world’s clean energy transition.

The formation of Moana Minerals and the securing of exploration rights for polymetallic nodules in our Moana 1 project area is the culmination of prior work resulting in agreements between Ocean Minerals, our parent company, and the Cook Islands Government, which gave Moana Minerals reserved areas of the seabed in the Cook islands’ EEZ (2016 and 1017).

Moana’s uniquely qualified team has extensive experience in environmental management, underwater mining, deep ocean oil and gas exploration and production, subsea operations, mineral processing, and the engineering and implementation of large-scale projects.

Ocean Minerals’ founder, is the former Director of Ocean Mining Laboratory for the Kennecott Manganese Nodule Consortium in the 1970s and Moana team members have significant experience in the metals and underwater mining industries, deep water operations and finance.

Our team is committed to making the Cook Islands nodule project a success, with leadership based in Rarotonga for the duration of the exploration program.
