Tune in to our latest episode. We have a conversation with Gerard Barron, CEO of the Metals Company, and the man who wants to become the world’s first deep-sea miner. Deep sea mining got closer to reality recently with Nauru triggering a two year rule to allow it to go ahead. Bloomberg and WSJ recently revealed collusion between Nauru and The Metals Company, just when they are trying to float on NASDAQ. We dive deep into the issue and look into The Metal Company's shareholders. We are also joined by Diva Amon to question the effects of mining on biodiversity.

The final episode of this series is a corker. It's on an under reported issue - deep sea mining. It just got a lot closer to reality with Nauru triggering a two year rule to allow mining to go ahead. Collusion between Nauru and the leading proponent for deep sea mining, Deep Green / The Metals Company has been disclosed recently by Bloomberg and WSJ, just when they are trying to float on NASDAQ. This week on the pod, we dive deep into the issue and challenge Gerard Barron, Deep Green CEO, on his claims, his business past and some of Deep Green’s current shareholders who have a murky past. Deep Green admit they do not know what the impact of their mining will be on biodiversity. Tune in!
