Seafloor Investigations wins 3rd contract for joint venture of Lockheed Martin's Seabed Resources Developments Ltd (SRDL) and Ocean Minerals Singapore (OMS) to manage 3rd expedition for the assessment of deepsea polymetallic resources in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of Pacific Ocean [2020 RESOURCE_CRUISE-01 RC01].

Seafloor Investigations successfully completes the first two regional sampling cruises #1 & #2 of the 2022 BMJ Exploration Campaign. This field effort acquired over 80 boxcores seabed samples resulting in polymetallic nodules samples, environmental sediment samples, topwater biological samples, biological sediment samples, and megafauna specimen. These samples and the associated data were used to produce a regional geologic and environmental assessment of the BMJ claim areas.

Seafloor Investigations / Mr. Kurras was part of a 4-person team and tasked with developing the exploration campaign for a multi-year exploration and assessment effort in the Pacific by Blue Minerals Jamaica. The effort submitted an official claim application to ISA and defended the application to ISA board for the successful approval of the claim application.
