Manganese nodules are the most widespread undersea mineral resource, composed mainly of manganese minerals, and are found in lumps of varying sizes. Rare metals and important elements have been discovered in manganese nodules on various ocean floor systems worldwide. The following elements are present in our nodules: manganese, iron, silicon, aluminum, nickel, copper, cobalt, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, sodium, traces of cobalt, and others.
