Subsequent Events	19.Subsequent Events On August 4, 2025, the Company announced the publication of two technical economic studies prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K: a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) and an Initial Assessment (“IA”) relating to the Company’s polymetallic nodule projects in the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean. The PFS, which covers the NORI Area D, represents the first declaration of Mineral Reserves for a polymetallic nodule project. Concurrently, the Company published an IA evaluating the broader resource potential across the Company’s remaining NORI and TOML contract areas. Management will consider this filing in its next evaluation of the Royalty Liability at September 30, 2025, which may cause an increase in the liability and expense amounts in the Company’s financial statements. On August 4, 2025, TOML entered into a Revised Sponsorship Agreement with the Kingdom of Tonga which provides TOML with exclusive right to explore for polymetallic nodules in the ISA contract area, pursuant to its ISA Exploration Contract. The Kingdom of Tonga will continue to sponsor TOML’s seabed mineral activities in the area as per the terms of this Sponsorship Agreement. In exchange for the Kingdom of Tonga’s sponsorship, TOML will make cash payments (“Continuity Benefits”) to the Kingdom of Tonga for its continued sponsorship. The Continuity Benefits would only be payable if (i) a subsidiary of the Company other than TOML obtains a permit, license or other authorization from the US for the conduct of deep seabed mineral activities; (ii) and that Subsidiary commences commercial recovery activities of deep seabed minerals pursuant to that permit, license or other authorization (“Continuity Conditions”). In connection with the Revised Sponsorship Agreement, the Company entered into a Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity in favor of the Kingdom of Tonga under which the Company guarantees certain obligations of TOML and provides customary indemnities.
