Description
Description | Odyssey Marine Exploration has requested a potential marine mineral lease sale in federal waters offshore Virginia. The lease area is believed to contain heavy mineral sands with titanium, zirconium, rare earth elements, and phosphate. Initial activities would focus on environmental and geological data collection to support resource evaluation and project planning. Recovery activities would use shallow water dredging techniques. Odyssey is collaborating with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation for dredging services if the project advances. |
