It's like, whatever.

It's like there are better avenues to express views safely.

They don't like it because they thought they had it all going to plan.

And we broke the plan.

There's only one deposit that we're focused on at the moment.

It's this area known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone.

And it was discovered way back in the 1870s by the British, who sailed around the world on HMS Challenger with a basket off the back.

And thankfully, the steam piston had been invented so they could haul up this basket.

It was at sea for four years.

And they came across this big field of nodules about 1,000 miles southwest of San Diego.

And I mentioned before they precipitate, right?

They grow a little bit like pearls grow.

in the ocean.

And so there are nodules found in other oceans, but they're just not as interesting as these because these contain a very high grade of nickel and copper.

And the reason for that is if you look to our east, you've got the Rockies and the Andes.
